Accurately Measuring Datacenter Power Efficiency Timely and accurate measurements with SunSM Eco Services 2008-05-13 Sun Microsystems

Corporate attention spans can be short, and the best way to get attention and motivate efficiency improvements is to be able to generate accurate, up-to-date power statistics on a moment's notice.

Taking accurate measurements takes time, however, and a statistical model built from a set of baseline measurements provides a means of closely estimating efficiency improvements even while a datacenter is in a state of constant change.

This whitepaper discusses how Sun Eco Services can help you develop a statistical model for your datacenter, empowering you to generate timely and cost-effective datacenter power-efficiency measures.

Sun Achieves >80% reduction in space, power and cooling costs by Consolidating European Datacenters 2008-05-13 Sun Microsystems

This compelling case study looks at how, in November of 2005, Sun's IT Operations (ITOPS) group faced lease expirations that drove the consolidation of multiple European datacenters into a single state-of-the-art facility in their Guillemont Park, U.K campus.

This consolidation was in support of their strategy to reduce their mission critical datacenter real estate by utilizing Sun's own technology. The consolidation needed to be completed quickly and achieve reductions in space and electric power consumption without the migration of large numbers of applications to new operating system versions.

Fortunately, Sun's server technology and expertise in datacenter design and operations, and services like custom Consolidation Architecture and Design Services, allowed the consolidation to be completed in less than a year, with no down time, while producing reductions in space and utility costs far more dramatic than originally planned.

In a global economy it pays to protect your greatest asset 2008-05-13 Sun Microsystems

Datacenters are a drain on resources - yours and the planet's. After al, the average datacenter's power consumption doubled between 2000 and 2005. Powering the network consumes 100 billion kilowatts of electricity and costs around $7.2 billion every year.

And soon, the cost of running a server could be more that the cost of buying one. It adds up to a huge impact on the environment - and your bottom line.

But at Sun, we know that what's good for the planet can also be good for your business. This whitepaper shows how the Sun Eco Innovation Initiative can make sense for your business - economically and ecologically.

Quad-Core Processors Bring Higher Performance and Lower Cost to Mainstream Computing 2008-05-13 Sun Microsystems

This in-depth study shows how Intel has created a market-leading processor family built on quad-core technology with a first-to-market advantage. Leading hardware and software vendors have expressed and exhibited full support. Early tests by a significant cross section of end users have proven the value and efficacy of the architecture. Intel has provided a foundation of software tools and industry training to accelerate industry readiness and adoption. Most server applications can already leverage the key quad-core attributes, and server virtualisation software with hardware assist makes application consolidation a key usage model.

The value proposition for Intel quad core processor based systems is clear. They outperform existing systems in all three major areas: compute performance, price performance, and performance per watt. As one of the HPC users commented, "Moving from dual core to quad core is a no-brainer." And the move from single core to quad core is even more compelling.
