The Green Grid presentation was quite cool, it was talking about what The Green Grid is working on and included some interesting comments, such as how power utilization is broken down in the average data center:
- IT equipment 57%
- Cooling equipment 34%
- Power distribution losses 7%
- Lighting/other 2%
There was also discussion of how to work out Data Center Productivity:
Useful work produced by data center/resource consumed producing the work=Data Center Productivity - I wonder what scores different data centers/organizations might get?
There was also the five ways to save server power:
- Identify legacy servers/servers not in use
- Enable power saving features
- Right size server farms
- Power down servers not in use
- Decommissions old servers no longer in use.
