Green Data Centers Save Energy, Water, and Money
Executive Summary
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager and Intel® Data Center Manager (Intel® DCM) in combination with high temperature ambient data center operations were jointly tested over a three month proof of concept (POC) with Korea Telecom at the existing Mokdong Data Center in Seoul, South Korea. The objective was to maximize the number of servers compute nodes within space, power, and cooling constraints of the data center (DC).
The POC proved the following:
A power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.39 would result in approximately 27 percent energy savings at the Mokdong Data Center. This could be achieved by using a 22◦ C chilled water loop.
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager and Intel® Data Center Manager made it possible to save 15 percent power without performance degradation using control policy.
In the event of a power outage, the Mokdong Data Center uninterrupted power supply (UPS) uptime could be extended by up to 15 percent while still running its applications with little impact on the business Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Potential additional annual energy cost savings greater than USD $2,000 per rack could be achieved by putting an under-utilized rack into a lower power state.
