Quiz European & Projection of Energy Consumption in Data Centers by 2020 - 56 TWh in 2007 - 104 TWh in 2020 86% increase in 13 years 3% of Total Energy Consumption Source : EU Data Centres Code of Conduct
Efficient Solutions Renewable Energy Sources: • Solar • Wind • Geothermal • Hydropower
QUIZ No2 AVERAGEYEARLY PUE: • 2006: 2,13 • 2007: 1,94 • 2008: 1,89 • 2009: 1,84 • 2010: 1,77 • 2011: 1,75
Effect of PUE improvement If during year 2011 (PUE = 1,75) we had the same PUE with year 2006 (PUE=2,13): • we would pay approximately 380.000 € more in electric power consumption AND • we would create additionally approximately 4.450t CO2 emissions Fewer cars on the road
How to Improve Efficiency • Design • Invest on high efficiency infrastructure equipment • Implement Best Practices • Operation & Maintenance • DCIM
1. DESIGN • Modularity – Pay As you Grow • Operation of chillers at higher temperatures (i.e 12oC - 17oC) • Data Hall Cold Aisle Temperature: 18c – 27c (ASHRAE)
2. Invest on high efficiency equipment • UPS with energy efficiency factor of 0,93 even at 25% of load capacity • High EfficiencyChillers – Free Cooling • Close Control Units with variable air-supply ( 35% energy saving) • Sine waves – THD active filters
3. Implement Best Practices • Hot and cold aisles • Hot or cold air containment • Rack air flow management – Blanking panels • Raised floor air flow management (use of air grommet) • Minimize under floor obstructions to airflow • Turn-off lights in unoccupied areas
4. Operation & Maintenance • Install metering equipment for measuring power & environmental conditions • Collect data through BMS and other monitoring and mgt systems - Analyze • Continuous monitoring and fine-tuning of set points – Not a static environment • Develop Internal procedures, KPIs and reporting
5. DCIM GARTNER defines DCIM as: “tools that monitor, measure, manage and/or control data center use and energy consumption of all IT-related equipment (such as servers, storage and network switches), and facilities infrastructure components (such as power distribution units [PDUs] and computer room air conditioners [CRACs]).”
DCIM Benefits • Access to accurate, actionable data aboutthe current state and future needs of the data center • Standard procedures for equipment changes • Single source of truth for asset management • Better predictability for space, power and cooling capacity • Reduced operating cost from energy usage
Conclusions • Implement a Design targeting on high efficiency operation • Invest on high efficiency infrastructure • Operations & Management - If you don’t monitor it you can’t manage it !!! • Implement Best Practices THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO CREATE IT Peter Drucker
