Data Center Power Consumption Grows Less

Yesterday I stumbled upon an article that lifted my green-thumb environmental-loving spirit. It stated that the amount of power consumed by data centers around the world continues to grow…but not as much? I was intrigued so I continued reading.
According to a study in 2007 by Professor Jonathan Koomey of Stanford University found that due to the virtualization of servers power consumption should still increase. In his report in 2010 all data center power was consuming 1.7 to 2.2 percent of total electricity used in America as opposed to 1.1 to 1.5 worldwide. These numbers were far less than his original predictions in 2007. With these numbers I can believe we are going in the right direction but how do we keep this up? Read more

We often think of temperature monitoring and humidity monitoring first. Some of us are even concerned about smoke detection and water detection, but what about power detection? I have to admit, it wasn’t first on my list of environmental conditions to monitor either.
