Reduce Data Center Power Consumption – Rack PDU
Reduce power consumption and costs in the Data Center with scheduled equipment shutdowns using WTI Switched PDU.
The rising cost of energy consumption by computing equipment in general, and those found in data centers in particular, has become a tremendous concern to everyone—not just people in the computer industry. Awhile back, the government got involved when the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) formed the Energy Star Association; the group is currently working on a report on data center efficiency. A study funded by AMD found that U.S. electrical consumption in the data center (including servers, cooling, and auxiliary equipment) totaled about 45 billion kWh in 2005, leading to utilities bills of $2.7 billion. Worldwide, the cost of data center power and electricity consumption is estimated to top out at $7.2 billion annually.
