The energy consumed by data centres has more than doubled since 2000 and this trend is accelerating with the rising popularity of Cloud Computing. The good news is that there are significant Energy-Efficiency opportunities in servers and data centers, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Crowley Carbon has proven expertise in these areas.
Many technologies are either commercially available or will soon be available that could further improve the energy efficiency of microprocessors, servers, storage devices, network equipment, and infrastructure systems. For instance, existing technologies and design strategies have been shown to reduce the energy use of a typical server by 25 percent or more. Even with existing IT equipment, implementing best energy-management practices in existing data centers and consolidating applications from many servers to one server could reduce current data center energy usage by around 20 percent. Energy-efficiency strategies could be implemented in ways that do not compromise data center availability, performance or network security.
