Energy Efficiency & Power Management Solutions

Energy consumption is a critical issue for organisations today, whether the goal is to lower costs, reduce environmental impact or keep your data centre running. In the US alone, data centres consumed $4.5 billion worth of electricity in 2006. Industry analysts such as IDC estimate that the annual cost of powering a server will soon exceed the purchase cost of the hardware itself.Unfortunately, supply is not keeping up with demand. Gartner Research forecasts that by 2008, 50% of current data centres will have insufficient power and cooling capacity to meet the demands of high-density equipment. The environmental impact of data centres is also a growing concern as organisations endeavour to reduce the carbon footprint of their business.
