Manage data center energy

By treating energy like an IT asset

There's a lot of opportunity to better manage energy in the data center. Let's face it, data center managers need to get control of their energy use not just to save costs, but equally importantly, to plan for future capacity needs, improve performance and utilization of existing equipment, and proactively manage power risks before they become disasters.

 

Data centers account for up to 50 percent of the energy used in commercial buildings and consume 10 times more energy per square foot than the rest of the building. And according to Gartner, up to 60% of data center energy is wasted, not getting to the critical equipment that's doing the work.
