Active Tab Overview

Key Benefits

  • Lower annual power and cooling costs
  • Maximize energy usage and system availability
  • Reduce datacenter space and equipment requirements
  • Identify energy optimization opportunities
  • Plan for future energy and infrastructure needs

Consider This Service If:

  • You're planning to implement an energy management program in your datacenter
  • You need to reduce power and cooling costs
  • You want to control "server sprawl"
  • You want to reduce your datacenter "footprint"
  • You want to demonstrate eco responsibility to customers and shareholders

How it Works

According to a 2008 study conducted by Innovative Research, approximately 40% of the power used in the average datacenter is used for cooling costs. However, 60% of this is wasted because data center heat distribution is extremely erratic, as shown by the illustration.

The Sun Eco Services Suite leverages best practices and proven methodologies to help you evaluate your existing facility conditions, identify "problem" areas and optimize energy usage by improving cooling efficiency, space utilization and general environmental conditions.
