Power and Cooling In Enterprise Datacenters
HP.com offers readers this special podcast on Power and Cooling in Enterprise Datacenters. In these programs, you'll hear a series of interviews with Paul Perez, HP's Vice President of Storage, Networks and Infrastructure. Paul explains how HP can help you to get the cost of enterprise datacenter operations under control and free up data center capacity through better management of energy resources.
The Challenge: steady advances in server technology are fundamentally changing the game of running an Enterprise Data Center, specifically as it pertains to power and cooling Operational costs are now the dominant variable in the the total cost of ownership equation, with energy and data center space being the top line items. One of the keys to driving down energy costs and maximizing data center capacity is a closer working relationship between IT and Facilities.
|
Understanding the Problem: How HP takes an holistic approach to Power and Cooling at the system, rack and data center level One way to reduce energy costs is through the use of more energy efficient servers and storage. This podcast explains the principles that HP uses to build energy-efficiency into its products, and how data center managers can apply these principles at the data center level to make dramatic reductions in operational costs. |
Product Level Solutions In order to get an idea of the kinds of savings that can be achieved by managing power and cooling more effectively, we examine the results that HP has achieved at the product level. In every product line from Superdome to Proliant, HP has been making great strides in making its products more energy efficient. This podcast looks at how this has been done, and explores what is required to apply HP's product level engineering principles at the data center level. |
Data Center Solutions A Fortune 50 company recently had to shut down a data center for five full hours because they ran out of thermal capacity. Today, most data centers have disaster recovery plans. But before you can safely use these plans to respond to thermal emergencies, you need to be able to measure the thermal capacity of each datacenter in your company or organization. Otherwise, you risk failing over to a site that cannot tolerate the sudden onrush of demand. Paul discusses ways that power and cooling can become more adaptive, variable costs that can be provisioned. This allows datacenter managers to direct these resources to the things that they care about the most.
