Maximizing server efficiency is becoming more difficult
The power efficiency of IT infrastructure largely defines the overall energy performance of a data center, an observation that Uptime Intelligence reports have repeatedly made (see Efficient servers hold the key to energy efficient data centers) — and will continue to make in the context of sustainability.
While there are numerous elements in play when it comes to total IT efficiency, the crux of the issue can be reduced to a couple of major factors. The most effective dial that operators can turn to improve work per unit of energy is server utilization, which can be improved by consolidating workloads onto fewer servers. For large and growing workloads, replacing systems with new servers can further boost efficiencies.
