Presentation

With power bills total to millions of dollars a
year, electricity is the largest expense for the
typical data center, making it an attractive
target for aggressive cost-cutting
The Green Grid, a consortium of most
computer- and web-related companies, i.e.
AMD, Dell, Intel, IBM, HP, Microsoft, Oracle,
etc., develops tools to quantify and compare
power use for data centers and publish a
design guide that details the industry’s best
practices
