Power Assure CTO To Speak At AFCOM Data Center World Spring
The focus of the two sessions will be on measuring IT energy efficiency and software defined power, respectively.
Power Assure®, Inc. has announced that Clemens Pfeiffer, chief technology officer (CTO), will present two sessions at AFCOM Data Center World Spring, taking place April 28 – May 2, 2014 in Las Vegas at the Mirage Resort. Power Assure will also showcase its Software Defined Power solution during the event at booth #1024.
The cost for electrical energy represents 25% to 40% of the operational expenditures in data centers today with more than half of that energy wasted largely on underutilized servers. The growing demand for server capacity ultimately threatens to exceed the total power and/or cooling capacity available in many data centers, forcing costly upgrades or expansion. These trends have motivated organizations to begin monitoring and managing data center power utilization more effectively. To do this, PAR4was created. PAR4 is a comprehensive metric for IT energy efficiency tested by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to comply with UL standard UL2640 to accurately measure IT equipment power usage.
