While already on the lookout for ways to reduce costs, large enterprises are under increasing pressure to use less energy. Enterprise IT departments worldwide monitor data center energy consumption, casting a wary eye on metrics that show how servers use the watts they draw from the wall.
Indeed, inefficient or end-of-life servers can cost more to run than they are worth because they continue to draw power for cooling when they could easily be replaced with energy-efficient servers, or even retired and their workloads virtualized. This is not a new problem, but there are new solutions available to remedy this problem. Read this white paper to learn more.
