Measuring Power and Efficiency
This paper looks at the current trends of increased power and cooling demands within the Data Center. These increased demands, increased costs and lack of available power in some locations are driving Data Centers to become more efficient. It explores the efficiency metrics available from The Green Grid and The Uptime Institute based on the new "greening" within the Data Center market. It provides the reader solutions for making these efficiency metric measurements and offers suggestions on how to increase Data Center efficiency.

KEMP Technologies' LoadMaster Products Reduce Datacenter Power Consumption
Power availability is one of the most important challenges facing datacenters today. Cooling requirements for servers are influencing power demand, while putting pressure on datacenter operational procedures. Most of today's IT operations are not properly built to deal with energy-overloaded IT infrastructure. Energy improvements can be made from both an equipment-planning perspective, and with sound operational practices in place for physical infrastructure such as network devices, power, cooling, monitoring, etc.

Guidelines for Specifying Data Center Criticality / Tier Levels
A framework for benchmarking a future data center's operational performance is essential for effective planning and decision making. An appropriate specification for data center criticality should provide unambiguous defensible language for the design and installation of a data center. This paper analyzes and compares existing tier methods, describes how to choose a criticality level, and proposes a defensible data center criticality specification. Maintaining a data center's criticality is also discussed.

Effectively Managing Change Across the Data Center
The demands for change in the modern data center increase continually, and those demands differ between business needs and IT needs. The business wants compliance with new regulations, faster response to market requirements, expanding capabilities and the highest quality service. IT demands up-to-date systems and applications, deployment of new and complex technologies, greater controls for security and risk management, and increasingly efficient use of the IT operating budget.

Data Center Assessment Helps Keep Critical Equipment Operational
The IT infrastructure within many companies has evolved into an interdependent, business-critical network that relies on the data center as its hub. Growing business demands are forcing data center managers to support more equipment, resulting in increased heat loads. Corporate attention on the data center is also driving the need for greater flexibility balanced against high availability and the lowest total cost of ownership.

Energy Logic: Reducing Data Center Energy Consumption by Creating Savings that Cascade Across Systems
A number of associations, consultants and vendors have promoted best practices for enhancing data center energy efficiency. These practices cover everything from facility lighting to cooling system design, and have proven useful in helping some companies slow or reverse the trend of rising data center energy consumption. However, most organizations still lack a cohesive, holistic approach for reducing data center energy use.
