And it’s no wonder – it saves space and energy while letting you maximize your IT resources. But smaller footprints can come at a cost. Virtualized servers, even at 50% capacity, require special attention to cooling, no matter their size or their location. You can deploy high-density racks right now Deploy InfraStruXure as the foundation of your entire data center or server room, or overlay into an existing large data center. SCHEMATIC LEGEND: CRAC UNITS STANDARD DENSITY RACKS CENTRALIZED UPS INFRASTRUXURE HD-READY ZONES 1. Heat Server consolidation creates higher densities – and higher heat – per rack, risking downtime and failure. 2. Inefﬁciency Perimeter cooling can’t reach heat deep in the racks. And overcooling is expensive and ineffective. 3. Power Events Virtual loads move constantly, making it hard to predict available power and cooling, risking damage to your network. The right-sized way to virtualize. With the new HD-Ready InfraStruXure architecture, you can take on high density by cooling the virtualized high-density row, controlling power at the rack level, and managing the system with advanced software and simulation. Though virtualizing saves energy, true efﬁciency also depends on the relative efﬁciencies of power, cooling, and servers. Right-sizing one and not the others (See Figure 1) leaves efﬁciency savings on the table. To right-size, depend on the efﬁcient, modular HD-Ready InfraStruXure and neutralize heat at the source. Equipment will be safer and more efﬁcient running closer to 100% capacity. Figure 1 Efﬁciency and Virtualization Your servers are efﬁcient, but is your power and cooling? COOLING USAGE/CAPACITY SERVERS POWER USAGE/CAPACITY Pre-Server Virtualization Correct Server Utilization Correct-sized Power Correct-sized Cooling Big gains could be made with both server and power and cooling. 29% Efﬁciency Grossly oversized power and cooling cancels out potential gains made by virtualizing. Don’t agonize, virtualize. What are you waiting for? With HD-Ready InfraStruXure architecture anyone can virtualize… anytime, anywhere. Just drop it in and go.
