IT is getting boxed-in by power & cooling

● Rack density has doubled every 8 years since 1992

● Moore’s Law drives increased MIPs

● Power density increasing 15% per year

● By 2010, average kW per rack forecast to be 20+ kW (up from 1 kW in 2000)

● Dense power makes cooling unpredictable and expensive

Power density is explodingPower density is exploding

Key points on energy usage in data centers

●More than 50% of power going into a typical data center goes to the power and cooling systems – NOT to the IT loads

●The typical 1MW (IT load) data center is continuously wasting about 400kW or 2,000 tons of coal per year due to poor design (DCiE = 50%, instead of best-practice 70%)

●Every kW saved in a data center saves about $1,000 per year

●Every kW saved in a data center reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 5 tons per year

●Every kW saved in a data center has a carbon reduction equivalent to eliminating about 1 car from the road

●A 1% improvement in data center infrastructure efficiency (DCiE) corresponds to approximately 2% reduction in electrical bills

How that translates into savings

"A small-to-average-sized 1MW US data center that "A small-to-average-sized 1MW US data center that uses management software to reduce energy uses management software to reduce energy consumption by 10% will save $87,600 per year, or consumption by 10% will save $87,600 per year, or $438,000 over five years (not including equipment $438,000 over five years (not including equipment and software investment). A European datacenter and software investment). A European datacenter may save $650,000 over five years (because of may save $650,000 over five years (because of higher electricity prices)." higher electricity prices)."

Expanding integrations

• InfraStruxure Operations PRO Pack for Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager

• Provides insight into how virtual machines relate to physical servers and their location, automatically migrating virtual machines to secure host environments enabling customers to maintain Service Level Agreements and view and manage network health.

• From power failure to IT impact• Problem:

•The impact of critical power events are not effectively propagated to Virtual Machines (VMs)

• Solution:•The critical events are translated into server impact analysis•VMs at risk are automatically migrated to healthy hosts

• APC Solution requirements• InfraStruxure Operations & InfraStruxure Capacity v6.1• InfraStruxure Operations PRO Pack – SKU: SFVMM2008R261 (free download)
