Energy-Efficient Computing Using Citrix PowerSmart Utility for Presentation Server (Beta) With HP Integrated Lights-Out

Tags:
data center

Overview Data center costs for computer power and cooling are staggering. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that data centers used 61 billion kilowatt hours in 2006 - or 1.5% of all power consumed in the United States1 - at a cost of $4.5 billion, the consumption of approximately 5.8 million average households. The no-cost Citrix PowerSmart Utility for Presentation Server (PowerSmart) is designed to reduce the power consumption of a Citrix Presentation Server farm. During off-business hours, PowerSmart intelligently focuses the farm's workload on a few Presentation Servers so that it can power off idle servers.

Why must IT go green?

The average office can be just as inefficient and power-hungry as a creaking 20th century server farm. When factoring in cooling as well, power costs exceed purchase costs. The industry in the past has measured its progress by faster processors...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
