Managing business need with the datacenter power issues

Like many organizations, Concentric is confronted by a dilemma in its datacenter. Customers of its hosted applications and email services demand greater performance. But costs for power and cooling would skyrocket if Concentric, a 14-year-old business unit of XO Communications, simply added more servers to answer the demands of its business.

Concentric’s innovative solution is giving it the best of both worlds. Sun recently spoke with Barbara Branaman, Concentric president and general manager, about how Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 CoolThreads servers are instrumental in enabling it to realize massive throughput, while reducing power, cooling, and space requirements.

Check out this Sun interview which discusses energy efficiency in the data center, how to manage the needs of the business for capacity, and how low energy servers targetted at the right application/business unit can provide the service they need with lower energy requirements and costs, the low voltage x86 processors servers/blades and the Sun T1000/T2000 servers being great examples.
