California: The total world server electricity usage from datacenters in Asia and Pacific region, excluding Japan, will increase from 10 per cent in 2000 to about 16 per cent in 2010, while the US share will decrease from 40 per cent to about one-third over that period.

A study released by AMD, based on the data from industry analyst firm IDC, reveals the shifting patterns in worldwide datacenter energy use across five regions including the US, Western Europe, Japan, Asia and Pacific (excluding Japan) and the rest of the world.

The absolute electricity consumption for servers in the Asia and Pacific region under this scenario would more than double from 2005 to 2010, requiring electricity capacity equal to output from two new 1000 MW power plants.

An article I wanted to highlight how much power data centers require, why therefore we need to look at not only the way we build and run data centers, but also the air flow, the cooling as well as the server configuration. Making a 10% saving in your cooling or power requirements, could represent a significant return on investment, particularly as the cost of power continues to be the significant part of your data center costs.
