Data Center Audit
Request a QuoteFrom the day of inception in this industry, we are readily indulged in rendering unparalleled Data Center Audit to our customers. Known for its reliability, these offered services are highly demanded and acknowledged. Moreover, their consistent modification has helped us in becoming one of the leading services providers of this industry. There are plenty of opportunities to scale back the energy used by Data center and reduce your capital expenditure. Power outages, outdated Data Centers, the proliferation of volume servers, high density, space limitation, inefficient , unreliable cooling technologies and practices are all adding critical risks and wasting energy. We have the solutions you need, and can carry out energy and thermal audits to advise you on the most effective improvements you can make. Our approach involves assessing your Data Center reliability, expansion possibility, energy efficiency in a holistic way, and developing an end-to-end strategic plan to reduce your energy bill while guaranteeing service quality and SLA commitments. Our IT Energy Audit involves evaluating you Data Center energy efficiency by comparing the total energy consumption for the center with that of the IT hardware on its own. Originally developed in 2003 by the LBN Lab in California, typically PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) ratios range from 3.5 to 1.5. For some years now, the overall ratio has been around 3, with total energy consumption for the Data Center divided almost equally between cooling, auxiliary and power supply infrastructures, and the IT hardware itself. It is estimated that we should be able to achieve a ratio of 2, or even 1.6 for highly optimized solutions. Steps in Data Center Audit: Qualification meeting with the Data Center stakeholders and site visit, to understand
Customer awareness and strategies towards robust and green Data CentersDiscussion to identify the key areas of the energy assessment programShort- and long-term customer expectations and objectivesEnergy management policiesAssess opportunities for quick wins . Carry out a Data Center diagnosis in order to
Develop and measure the PUE (Power Usage Efficiency) metric Measure and develop performance profiles for Data Center elements (servers, storage, cooling, UPS)Identify critical and main energy consuming IT systems and infrastructure equipment analyse their current performance in terms of age , reliability and free capacity.Identify a gap between current practices and state-of-the-art best practices for the next generation of Data Center operationsIdentify potential energy saving opportunities and areas for cost optimization.
