The EPA has targeted the IT industry in a round of energy initiatives aimed at improving the energy efficiency of data centers. Many IT equipment manufacturers have taken the necessary steps to improve the design of their servers and workstations so that they run at optimum performance while maintaining low energy levels. As the manager of your data center, you should be aware of the energy efficiency ratings on your equipment to ensure that your data center is as “green” as possible.
Once your data center is being run with energy efficient equipment, it is time to take a look at the airflow in your data center. Proper HVAC equipment and ventilation improve the flow of air in your data center. Having a temperature control plan in place will improve the efficiency of your equipment and reduce your energy costs. What business would not be happy with lower energy costs?
