Optimizing the Energy Efficiency of the Modern Data Center
Modern Data Center Demands
• Power of the cloud • Growth in Big Data • Understanding the new reliance on the data center • New technologies and new ways to optimize
Growing Data Center Needs
• Growing energy utilization– Average total power to rack is about 4.05kW, with 58% of
racks consuming 5kW per rack– 28% consuming from 5kW to 10kW per rack and the rest
consuming more than 10kW per rack.
• Validates the need for better data center design– 51% of data center managers plan to expand their data
center operations*
