What can you do to improve data center power consumption?
To better understand some of the issues, it helps to consider the analogy of transportation and fuel efficiency.
On one hand, vehicles such as electric, hybrid or compact cars are obviously more fuel-efficient than larger, petroleum-fueled vehicles. However, a larger vehicle such as a bus can provide a highly efficient mode of transportation since it can accommodate many passengers at a low fuel-per-passenger ratio.
This concept reflects what is occurring in today's data centers: consolidation of multiple devices into a larger shared resource. And if the shared resource happens to be a newer energy-efficient model, the benefits are magnified.
