Data centre infrastructures are at a tipping point. New high-density servers provide more computing power with less energy consumption than traditional servers. But with more servers, overall data centre demand for energy grows. Add increased equipment cooling requirements, and many data centre infrastructures can’t handle the stress of new IT equipment.
IBM Data Centre and Facilities Strategy Services – data centre energy efficiency assessment measures the energy usage of your cooling, electrical and building systems, compares your energy efficiency to an industry standard and identifies opportunities to improve. It helps create business-case financial justification to help prioritise improvements for energy savings, giving you a framework to make infrastructure decisions.
