Data Center Energy Consumption Trends

2011-04-14T02:13:00.000-07:00

Data centers can consume up to 100 times more energy than a standard office building. Often, less than 15% of original source energy is used for the information technology equipment within a data center.

Figure 1 below outlines typical data center energy consumption ratios.

Data center energy consumption doubled from 2000 to 2006, reaching more than 60 billion kilowatt hours per year. That number could double again by 2011. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prepared Figure 2 below to outline data center energy consumption from 2000 through 2006 with multiple scenarios depicting continued growth through 2011.

The Historical Trends Scenario line depicts data center energy consumption growth through 2011 if historical usage and technology trends continue, reaching just over 120 billion kilowatt hours of energy consumption.

The Current Efficiency Trends Scenario line depicts data center energy consumption growth based on current energy efficiency technology standards and best practices, reaching just under 110 billion kilowatt hours of energy consumption.

The Improved Operation Scenario includes several energy-saving measures such as eliminating unused servers, moderately adopting energy-efficient servers, and improving infrastructure energy efficiency by 30% through airflow management. The result reaches just over 80 billion kilowatt hours of energy consumption.

The Best Practice Scenario is the first to show a drop in data center energy consumption in 2011 compared to 2006 levels. This scenario includes energy-saving measures such as moderate consolidation of data centers, aggressive adoption of energy-efficient servers, and use of improved fans, chillers, and free cooling. The result reaches just under 40 billion kilowatt hours of energy consumption.

The State of the Art Scenario demonstrates the most drastic data center energy consumption reduction. The scenario includes all changes within the Best Practice Scenario and adds power management applications, liquid cooling, and combined heat and power. The result reaches just over 30 billion kilowatt hours of energy consumption.

Green Data Center - Datalayer

A green data center is a repository for the storage, management, and dissemination of data in which the mechanical, lighting, electrical and computer systems are designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum environmental impact. The construction and operation of a green data center includes advanced technologies and strategies. Here are some examples:

§ Minimizing the footprints of the buildings

§ The use of low-emission building materials, carpets and paints

§ Sustainable landscaping

§ Waste recycling

§ Installation of catalytic converters on backup generators

§ The use of alternative energy technologies such as photovoltaics, heat pumps, and evaporative cooling

§ The use of hybrid or electric company vehicles

Building and certifying a green data center or other facility can be expensive up front, but long-term cost savings can be realized on operations and maintenance. Another advantage is the fact that green facilities offer employees a healthy, comfortable work environment. In addition, green facilities enhance relations with local communities.

There is growing pressure from environmentalists and, increasingly, the general public for governments to offer green incentives: monetary support for the creation and maintenance of ecologically responsible technologies.

How to make a Tier 4 data centre energy efficient

2011-04-06T03:57:00.000-07:00

Top-level data centers rely on technology that can provide the highest availability possible: 99.999% uptime. A Tier IV data centre must have Class A continuous cooling technology and multiple, independent and dual-powered systems with sufficient redundant capacity. This doesn't sound like the greenest data centre. In fact, the Uptime Institute, which sets the criteria for data centers, doesn't specify any environmental requirements for Tier IV accreditation. However, there is increasing industry pressure to balance the data centre's carbon footprint while still achieving the highest availability possible. We can design a data centre that has the best technologies from an uptime perspective, which also offer a carbon reducing side. It just costs more. The biggest efficiencies come from the running and maintenance of the data centre, however, the location of the building is of prime importance. It costs a lot more to cool a facility in India than in the UK, particularly when it snows. We hardly had to pay for cooling at all with our latest centre at such place, when the temperature was as cold as it was. When the outside temperature drops below 20°C, little cooling is needed. Placing the data centre underground can also be beneficial, both from a data security point of view and an environmental one, because it requires less cooling. Other features that can help boost energy efficiency are separating areas of the data centre that do not need to be cooled or lit. Raising the floor allows the air that is being pushed by air conditioning equipment to pass through. Installing automatic doors in the data centre and intelligent lights can also assist in conserving energy. These are relatively simple things that help to reduce the carbon footprint from day one. There is also the operational aspect of lowering a high-performance data centre's carbon footprint. Service providers can incorporate technologies that allow multiple users to benefit from efficiently run IT infrastructure. Cloud services and virtualization software allow the data centre to reduce its server count, and use existing servers more efficiently to reduce energy consumption and costs. Virtualization allows computing to be brought online as and when it is needed, powering up or down servers and other IT components as required. As a fully managed service provider, to be as energy efficient as possible, so we can offer the best deal to their tenant customers. Enterprise customers ask us what we are doing, what we have we put in place, and which metrics we have. In response we can say we work with the Carbon Neutral Company and have won a number of green awards. It appears that the pressure to go green with data centers is coming from IT users themselves. We should be prepared to pay the upgrade cost. Key features include a hot aisle/cold aisle layout for its server racks and other equipment. In addition, power use is monitored at rack level, allowing users to monitor and reduce their energy usage, and gather accurate figures which can be used for 'carbon accounting'.
