Energy Efficient Data Centers

Energy Efficient Data Centers

The energy consumption of data centers continuously increased during last
years. Between 2000 and 2010 the world-wide energy consumption of data
centers tripled as shown in studies of the Environmental Protection
Agency. Whats the best method for energy efficiency on data centers? The
natural way to reduce energy costs is to improve energy eciency, so that
the same amount of computational work can be done with less energy. Also
there are a lot of method for reduce energy consumption on data centers
e.g. Proactively Control of Air-Conditioners, becuase about 50% of energy
was consumed in data centers by Air-Conditioners. Another way to reduce
energy costs based on reducing energy on IT's infrastructures and
equipments e.g. Migration, Virtual Machine, and Dispatching jobs to
servers and turn off idel servers. But, what do you think? what's your
idea about this important concern?/p
