Energy-Efficient Data Centres
Best-Practice Examples from Europe, the USA and Asia
With the increasing use of the internet, telecom-munications services, and it networks internal to
organisations, the numbers of servers and their power consumption has risen rapidly over the past ten years.
Assuming that the best energy efficiency technologies and solutions available today were to be broadly implemented through massive efforts, i.e. at approx. 90% of all data centres, electric pow-er consumption by servers and the data centre in-frastructure would drop to 6.65 tWh by 2013.
In the case of this "Green-it" scenario, the electricity consumption of data centres would drop by almost 40% within only five years. Under this scenario, the expenditures for electricity would in fact drop to €998 million, despite a further rise in the price of electric power through 2013.
