Data Centre Energy Efficiency Assessment

Having good information is key to effective decision making. By knowing what the current energy efficiency of your data centre is you can make decisions as to what action to take.  PUE (power utilization effectiveness) is the new standard being used to measure data centre energy efficiency.  Knowing where and how much energy is being used is the basis of building a strategy for improvement.

Activities

Deliverables

Physical infrastructure inspection

Inspection to identify inefficient systems, configuration or operational practices.  Inspection activities include:

√ UPS capacity and redundancy
√ Load level of switch gear and PDU’s
√ Chiller and CRAC parameters

 

Report on inspected  areas
Energy Efficiency Benchmark

√ Establish benchmark of energy consumption

√ Gather usage information on power, cooling and lighting

√ Measure IT energy loads

√ Measure data centre total power input

√ Calculate PUE and compare to other data centres



Benchmark reference point

Business Case – ROI

Based on data centre attributes and benchmark create a business case with projected ROI to indicate value of improvements and estimated payback period

 

Report detailing recommended action, cost for each action and      estimated payback period based on projected energy savings

Data Centre Air Flow Modeling

Create model of data centre in current state and run a Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis to validate existing conditions and recommended changes

 

Provide animated models, detailed spreadsheet of temperature  profiles for each rack, CRAC efficiency and load factors and CRAC  failure analysis.
