The Vector Approach to Data Center Power Planning | 2009-06-28 | Eaton |
| Many data centers, including most of those built before 2001, are at risk of outstripping their capacity to power and cool their IT systems. Already, data centers consume 10-30 times more energy per square foot than the typical office buildingÂa figure that has doubled in the last five years. Energy costs represent the single largest component of operating expense, and a potential barrier to future expansion. Does IT really have a handle on this trend?
More regularly and frequently, organizations are hitting fixed limits in their power systemsÂeven systems that were designed and deployed fairly recently. With the volatile rate of change in IT technologies, power demands can quickly exceed established barriers in a legacy distribution system, such as the performance potential of existing amperage/voltage ratings, UPSs, cabling and connectors. The cost of upgrading, augmenting or replacing the power architecture can be astronomical. The costs often could have been minimized or avoided if the power planning process had simply been more forward-looking and holistic in the first place. This white paper describes an approach that considers the major milestones and thresholds in data center power requirementsÂand how planners should adjust their strategies and recommendations for data centers as they pass through different evolutionary stages.

Green Embedded Computing and the MPC8536E PowerQUICC III Processor | 2009-06-16 | Freescale Semiconductor |
| Growing energy demands from embedded electronics and increasing evidence of dramatic global climate change are generating greater environmental and cultural pressure for green solutions in embedded computing applications. This, coupled with continued expectations for higher performance embedded computing with each new product generation, despite environmental concerns, is impacting the future usage models of embedded processing systems. To balance the performance required for powerful new electronic applications with rising concerns over energy consumption, environmentally aware "Green" movements and government regulations and programs are driving manufacturers to develop intelligent strategies for optimizing performance within specific energy budgets.

Alternative Computing Options for an Alternative Energy Company | 2009-06-09 | InsynQ |
| InsynQ services combine computing resources in the data center, increasing the processing power for the clients while using less equipment for the task. And InsynQ services promote the use of thin client technologies, scaling down the equipment requirements for clients and subscribers. Less equipment means less heat generated and less power consumed. InsynQ services promote the concepts of working from anywhere at any time. Remote capability and virtualized systems often means less travel is required to bring users together, saving time as well as fuel. And InsynQ services promote paperless (or "Less paper") systems, encouraging subscribers to view documents on screen rather than in print. This saves power, printer consumables, and paper. | |||

Green Networking in the Data Center | 2009-06-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| Today, advanced technology ecosystems are what fuel business. This surge of technology is one that presents new capabilities but greater challenges as companies look to meet their business needs. However, this comes with an increasing impact on the environment in which one lives. Over the past thirty years, increased awareness of effect on the environment has developed into a "Green" movement toward more economic and environmental sustainability. In response to this growing need, governmental agencies around the world are working to define and enforce regulations to help mitigate the inefficient use of natural resources and reduce hazardous waste disposal.
