How To Improve Your Data Center Sustainability
Address Server Inefficiencies
By optimizing server configurations, workload distribution, and implementing virtualization, businesses can significantly reduce energy consumption while maintaining optimal performance.
Take Inventory Of IT Assets
A thorough assessment of IT assets helps identify underutilized equipment, facilitating better resource allocation and eliminating unnecessary power consumption.
Apply For Green Certifications
Green certifications, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Energy Star, offer guidance on energy-saving initiatives and best practices.
Deploy DCIM Tools
Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) tools provide real-time insights into power consumption, cooling, and overall data center operations. With this knowledge, businesses can make sound decisions to optimize energy usage.
Use Efficient Water Cooling Systems
Traditional cooling systems rely on large amounts of water, leading to significant environmental waste. Opt for more efficient alternatives like evaporative cooling or liquid submersion.
Reduce Power Usage Efficiency (PUE)
PUE measures the energy efficiency of a data center. Lowering PUE through design enhancements, equipment upgrades, and adequate cooling solutions directly reduces carbon footprint.
