Energy Efficiency in the Data Center
Thursday, August 21, 2008, 10–11 a.m. Pacific Time, 1–2 p.m. Eastern Time
Call it the dirty little secret of the digital age. When it comes to energy waste and greenhouse gas emissions, data centers are among the world’s biggest offenders. Most physical servers run at only about 10% to 15% utilization, yet can consume almost as much energy as at peak usage. Every watt of data center electricity consumption requires an additional watt just for cooling. And right now, the unutilized servers in the U.S. alone emit more carbon dioxide each year than the entire country of Thailand.
Regardless of the environmental impact, saving energy in your data center can provide substantial green benefits in the form significant cost savings. And, with data centers projected to continue expanding and the cost of energy mushrooming, this is becoming a critical priority for today’s IT professionals.
Learn the five practical steps you can take right now to reduce your energy consumption without buying any new hardware. Discover the tools you need to monitor, measure, and manage your data center energy usage more efficiently at the new Cisco Efficiency Assurance Program (EAP) website. Find out how much energy you can actually save with consolidation and virtualization plus the added benefits they provide. This 60-minute video broadcast will also reveal:
• The benefits of power management
• How to make servers more energy-efficient
• The critical importance of your network architecture
• How to address management and security issues when implementing virtualization
• How tiered storage can eliminate redundant data and further reduce costs
