Data Center Sustainability as Easy as 1, 2, 3, with Chatsworth Products

The data center industry is under pressure to meet customer demands for climate responsibility and take measurable action towards sustainability. In order to lower costs and increase energy savings, hyperscale, cloud, and smaller data centers must work to address inefficiencies and waste within their business operations. 

Luckily, our partner Chatsworth Products (CPI) has resources to help answer the most critical question in the industry today: What can data centers do to meet the sustainability requirements of the future? 

Continue reading for three simple ways to ensure your data center, no matter the size or scale, is moving toward sustainability:

1. Consolidate Servers with Intelligent PDU Technology

Data center managers can prevent unnecessary energy consumption by utilizing intelligent PDUs and DCIM software.

How Do Intelligent PDUs Contribute to Sustainability?

• Achieve Maximum Energy Efficiency: Monitoring voltage, power, and current at the outlet level helps managers to identify energy usage patterns within their operation.

• Monitor Equipment Health: Measuring and tracking inlet and outlet temperatures at the rack level helps prevent common causes of equipment downtime, e.g. cabinet hot spots.

• Receive Real-Time Alerts: Managers and operators are alerted to any unnecessary server activity, empowering more effective responses to energy consumption and overheating.

• Minimize Power Consumption: Unused outlets can be turned off using remote outlet control to optimize power management at the rack level.

• Analytics & Machine Learning: Predictive power management software analyzes historical data to understand usage patterns and aid future capacity planning.

• Seamless Cabinet Integration: Intelligent devices integrate with unique cabinets and cooling systems to provide specific insights surrounding the facility's power usage. 

2. Streamline Supply Chain with Well-Integrated Systems

Opting for integrated systems in data centers minimizes delays, cuts costs, and reduces energy consumption across the board, from the data center to the entire supply chain.

A well-integrated cabinet ecosystem:

• Holistically integrates power, cooling, and cable management

• Ensures resources are optimized to their fullest potential

• Delivers long-term savings through enhanced efficiency

• Reduces maintenance and operational costs

• Provides flexibility through modular designs and customization options 

When choosing an ICT supplier, it is recommended that customers prioritize pre-installation and cabinet integration offerings in order to increase long-term cost savings and efficiency and streamline operations.

3. Reduce Cooling Costs with Aisle Containment Strategies

Physical barrier and economizer solutions separate and recycle air in order to enhance data center efficiency, reduce energy costs, and conduct more environmentally sustainable operations.
