The power panel was interesting in the respect that the panel talking about the drivers for energy efficient with some dialog with the end users to illustrate this. Are we not looking at energy efficiency due to energy/cooling constraints rather than to be ‘green’ or to aid corporate social responsibility.

There was also discussion that IT needs to communicate more with the facilities, to understand the current power/cooling constraints, so that we can act accordingly.

The key challenge is cooling, that we can’t get the cooling in the volume we need to the systems that need it - the pockets of hot air issue. At the same time the best practices, the tools need to be used to enable better data center management and energy efficiency, a thermal assesment of the data center, the air flow etc.
