In the last 4 years, electricity costs have increased by 60%* sending the facility costs of running data centres through the roof. This, in conjunction with the wish to become more environmentally responsible, is driving companies to revisit the way their data centres are setup and run.
Consolidation is the route best taken to reduce the real estate within your data centre to then cut down on the power requirement and therefore also the cooling requirements. But new technologies like blade servers have a far higher power density than conventional servers and their installation can therefore fundamentally change the dynamics of the data centre environment.
Computer Fluid Dynamics tools have come on leaps and bounds in recent years and it is now more critical than ever to model changes in your data centre prior to implementation to ensure that hot spots are not inadvertently created, risking outages or even long term damage to your mission critical servers. Additionally, the placement of equipment within the room, or even within each rack, can lead to your air-conditioning units unnecessarily going into overdrive, thereby risking failure and driving up costs.
Come to our workshop to discover the latest in power and cooling techniques and technologies, so we can show you how to really take advantage of consolidation to drive down your datacentre costs and drive up your systems reliability.
