The white paper outlines a five step energy efficiency planning process for data centers.
Future Resource Engineering (FRE) has announced that it has released a new white paper,which details the five steps to creating a data center efficiency plan. The white paper, Creating a Data Center Efficiency Plan: Challenges & Steps to Creating an Effective and Impactful Energy Efficiency Plan provides data center owners and operators with an extensive blueprint that outlines required steps, offers solutions to common data center energy challenges, analyzes what information is relevant when determining savings, and identifies the factors to consider when determining a project’s return on investment (ROI).
The focus of every data center manager is uptime and reliability, although significant time is spent on other important tasks: capacity planning, responding to customer requests and resolving equipment issues. This often leaves little time for efficiency improvements that can yield significant cost savings. At the same time, the growing power consumption of data centers has sparked numerous efforts to save energy throughout the industry. However, every facility is different, each requiring its own customized plan that addresses:
