Utilizing Temperature Monitoring to Increase Datacenter Cooling Efficiency

Tags:
data center

Overview Looming over the heads of any environmentally conscious company, is the threat of global warming. Considerable effort has been taken to decrease the carbon footprint of the organization through various means: paperless offices, hybrid company cars, reducing waste and many more. Now there is significant focus being placed on the IT Department to critically look at the way in which it operates. More specifically, what can be done to decrease the reliance on power, and thus help make the datacenter "Go green?" There are a number of strategies available to IT managers such as virtualization, redesign of the datacenter and exchanging power hungry servers with more energy efficient devices.
