Efficiency improvements are a challenge to sell to management, especially in today’s economy. But what if you had a way to show their ROI, performance-enhancing potential and space and capacity saving-benefits? This webcast will give you a simple tool to do that. First, it will review a holistic, prioritized roadmap for reducing data center energy consumption. Next, it will reveal a proxy metric that takes an important step toward a universally accepted measure for data center output – an “MPG” for data centers. This metric showcases IT’s dramatic performance improvements that greatly outpace the increase in energy consumption. This analysis shows how IT and data center managers can use an efficiency metric to improve and benchmark data center energy efficiency in a holistic way, pinpointing energy saving strategies with the most impact and potentially increasing data center efficiency by 3.6 times. Attendees will also explore a free online tool they can use to evaluate and benchmark the efficiency of their own facilities.

Sizing data center power systems can feel like buying shoes for a fast-growing teenager. Fortunately, data center power systems are proving to be surprisingly adaptable. This webcast will help you determine how much “flex” exists within your data center power infrastructure and show you how to assess and unlock the hidden capacity in your power systems. Whether you’re evaluating your current facility’s ability to can carry you into the future or planning a new facility, this session will give you new insight into sizing – and growing – power capacity.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers predicts that by 2011, computer and communications rack heat loads will reach 30 kW with heat load densities of more than 500 W/ft2– five times today’s typical overall heat load density. This webcast will explore explore new and evolving strategies – such as cold-aisle containment – for designing a scalable, energy-efficient cooling infrastructure capable of meeting the high-density cooling challenges of today while preparing for the extreme densities of tomorrow. Attendees will also learn how one enterprise designs and maintains a sophisticated, energy-efficient cooling infrastructure to support mission-critical applications.
