Green Information Technology continued Building cooling systems complete the green IT package. losses that are generally given off as heat. Many server providers in the industry are narrowly focused on only one aspect of the problem; reducing power consumption of IT equipment. Big Air Chiller Units Not everyone is equipped to handle the heat Are you? When the heat gets too hot to handle, rely on TOPAZ Portable Air Conditioners to cool quietly, efﬁciently, and quickly. Our portable units range from 1 to 5 tons, can be rolled from room-to-room and can accommodate every need. • Humidity Control • Special Events • Computer Rooms • A/C Maintenance • A/C Failure • Supplemental A/C Contact your local Topaz Sales Of ce for more information! 1-888-838-4038 or visit us online at www.gotopaz.com New and revolutionary technology controls the delivery of cold air better than ever, ensuring it is distributed and directed to the area where it’s needed the most. One product on the market is HP Dynamic Smart Cooling (DSC), which provisions data center cooling actively and makes constant adjustments. Most customers have data centers that feel like refrigerators, which is a sure indication that too much cooling is being delivered and energy is being wasted. A side benefit of Dynamic Smart Cooling (DSC) is that maintenance personnel won’t need a winter coat any longer to work in the data center. DSC provides cooling where it is really needed and prevents random distribution. The net energy savings can be significant. For a data center that uses liquid cooling in air handling units, the IT manager can save up to 40 percent on the costs to cool IT equipment. What kind of savings can these solutions deliver? The answer certainly varies widely because every data center is different. However, cutting a third, or possibly more, of electricity costs is very achievable if the right measures are taken. Admittedly, not every solution will be right for everyone. Smaller customers will gravitate to the solutions that are quick and easy to deploy. Enterprise data centers may want to take advantage of large saving opportunities that come through Dynamic Smart Cooling. Whatever the case, partnering with a server manufacturer that offers the most holistic solution across the entire chip to chiller spectrum leads to the best solution. Focusing on a single element like an energy-efficient server will limit savings. ■ ◗ REPRINTS OF THIS ARTICLE are available by contacting Jill DeVries at devriesj@bnpmedia.com or at 248-244-1726.
