Future Resource Engineering

One of the most widely discussed issues within the data center industry today is how to run the facility more efficiently without impacting uptime and reliability. There is a plethora of industry news about the growing power consumption of data centers which has sparked significant efforts to save energy through the use of better data center management tools and more efficient equipment. Other factors influencing the wave of efficiency efforts include increased awareness of corporate responsibility, “going green”, reducing operating costs, and corporate-wide energy reduction goals. These influences have all pressured data center owners/operators to examine new ways to reduce energy consumption in their facilities.

However, every data center is different, and therefore efficiency opportunities, costs, savings, available incentives, equipment strategies, and payback requirements differ widely from one facility to another. Creating a customized efficiency plan for your specific data center will help maximize savings and provide the best payback, equipment strategies, and monitoring and control methods.

This white paper demonstrates how to create a data center energy efficiency plan by outlining the required steps, overcoming common challenges, looking at what information is important and relevant in determining savings, and what factors to consider when calculating a given project’s payback period.
