What is your concern? Carbon foot print. Cost. Density.

Carbon foot print

Every watt of power consumed has a predictable effect on theenvironment

Each watt saved reduces CO2 emissions

Cost

1KW used to power a server costs the average business $870/year. Lowering energy usage will drive down your utility bill

Density

For most clients today server density is determined by power/coolingavailability not U size

When you drive out wasteful power, you can reclaim that power in theform of additional performance

For a typical client with a 10KW rack saving 25% on power usuallymeans 25% greater performance in every rack

It all starts with reducing power consumption.Saving electricity delivers many benefits.

Efficient Power Delivery

There are two kinds of power

DC the type of power the server components run on

AC the type of power that we distribute in the data center

Power supply converts AC to DC

Increasing Power EfficiencyPower supplies typically work better at high

loading/utilization A problem for servers with N+N power

Its a cost issue, expensive to design supplycomponents that work efficiently across range ofload

BC has four supplies can afford and chose to investin efficiency of our supplies

91% peak efficiency

nearly 85% efficiency at 20% load

Load on supply

Efficiency

BladeCenter

Typical Supply

Wasted

Power

HP turns power supplies on and off as needed within the chassis totackle this problem

HP power supply is extremely inefficient at low loading Their power supplies need to be heavily loaded to hit high efficiency

This will likely work to improve efficiency but will be difficult for facility people to manage

May lead to shorter MTBF on supply

May require more than two separate power feeds for each chassis

The Power in understanding Power The data center consumes power in two ways

Power used by the server/chassis and other IT hardware(IT Load)

Power used for cooling the IT via air handlers and AC units

Server/chassis power consumption

While this is a useful metric at the server/chassis level, it

does not address the power used by the other ITcomponents in the rack/data center

This metric does not address the power needed to eliminatethe heat generated by the servers and other IT hardware

Dell only focuses on a

portion of the IT Loadleaving more than

55% of the customersenergy costs ignored.

Efficient IT, power, and cooling provide countless benefits for the data center Reduces carbon footprint to lessen the environmental impact

Drives substantial cost savings

Improves data center optimization
