  1. Continental Resources A shift of power! Why power matters

  2. • COST > Increasing costs or lack of power availability • SERVICE QUALITY > Direct link between heat and reliability • AGILITY (TIME to MARKET) > Allocation of space, power, cooling are limiting deployment • COMPLIANCE > Social and regulatory pressure to reduce carbon footprint Why this is important www.conres.com 800.937.4688

  3. Agenda • • Data Center Efficiency • The basic relationships of power • Consumption, efficiency, economics • • Where to start ! • • Top 10 Efficiency Strategies www.conres.com 800.937.4688

  4. Industry Quotes • Power and cooling costs now equal half of each dollar spent on • new servers (IDC) • Upwards of 60 percent of data center capacity can be wasted due • to poorly designed layouts and airflow • (Uptime Institute) • Power and cooling is a pandemic in the world of the data center • (Gartner) • The EPA estimates that energy-management best practices • combined with IT consolidation could reduce data center power • consumption by as much as 45 percent • (US Environmental Protection Agency) www.conres.com 800.937.4688

  5. Data Center Power Usage Efficiency • The power efficiency of a data center is described by the relationship between the power used by the IT, and the total power used by the facility • Typically expressed as a number or as a percent: e.g. PUE of 2.0 = DCE of 50%* • Power Utilization Efficiency (PUE) = IT Equipment Power + Infrastructure Power % IT Equipment Power • Data Center Efficiency (DCE) = IT Equipment Power % IT Equipment Power + Infrastructure Power www.conres.com 800.937.4688

  6. Data Center Efficiency • The energy efficiency of a Data Center is best described by the amount of useful computing done per unit of energy e.g., - Transactions per kW-hr, Simulations per kW-hr.. • Data Center Efficiency= Data Center Compute Throughput (IT work done) Total Facilities Power (Energy Consumed) www.conres.com 800.937.4688

  7. Data Center Efficiency • A framework for understanding the problem and breaking it down into its elements • Solution and Application design, and Workload optimization • Data Center Efficiency=ΣCompute Workloads • IT Equipment Power (Servers, Storage, Networks) + Infrastructure Power (Chillers, CRACs, CRAHs, CDUs, Switch Gear, UPSs, PDUs, Security, Lighting, etc..) www.conres.com 800.937.4688
