Turning Challenges into Opportunities in the Data Center

Data centers are an integral part of the engine driving today’s economy, but they’re becoming increasingly more expensive to power and cool.

Currently, data centers consume a little over one percent of the power in the United States annually. Some large data centers draw as much energy as a small town. These figures continue to rise as compute needs grow, density increases, and power and cooling demands climb.

Although many data centers are reaching their full capacity sooner than expected, this white paper from Intel examines the many ways to turn these problems into opportunities to save money, conserve resources and get out in front of regulations that may soon come into effect.

The paper looks at how every level of the data center — processors, platforms and data centers themselves — and highlights the possibilities and best practices for reimagining an IT infrastructure designed to conserve on all fronts.
