As data centers managers and operators around the globe try to keep up with rising compute demand, and more server capacity is deployed, they increasingly find value in moving their servers to the cloud. But during migration, it’s common to inadvertently leave behind or keep servers that aren’t in use any more, except that they continue to run, and run inefficiently in the background. These unused and underutilized servers can add millions of dollars to an energy bill and place high demand on the resources needed to support them. Knowing it’s impossible to eliminate waste without knowing where it’s coming from, the experts and designers of intelligent power management solutions from Chatsworth Products (CPI) recommend a two-pronged strategy that includes the integration of intelligent power distribution units (PDUs) and Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software to help solve for these challenges. Be sure to read the full report to understand how combining configurable hardware with robust software, data center managers and operators can track historical consumption reports so they can compare against baseline consumption and identify candidate servers that should be decommissioned.
To see exactly how that’s accomplished, and which ICT infrastructure solutions on the market today can help you achieve these goals, be sure to read the special report from the experts at Chatsworth Products (CPI). |
