Our clients target 40% carbon emissions reduction by 2020
Target
Actual Consumption
But we have discovered a problem Server Rooms !!!
Many of our client have a targer to reduce carbon emissions by 40%
Is there an Elephant in the room?
Ballooning Carbon
THE DCDI 2013 CENSUS UK FIGURES
The issue is our in-house server rooms
THE DCDI 2013 CENSUS UK FIGURES
Your feedback on the issue
Poll 1Is your server room energy separately metered?
Poll 2
Can you measure the PUE in your server room?
If you identify with this issue could you please complete the server room survey on our website

Conclusion
Get as many business applications moved off-site and onto the Cloud using an energy efficient Data Centre provider - as soon as possible
Allocating a utility bill to the IT department is a must for encouraging management of this issue.
In-house Server Room(s) versus Outsourced Data Centre
In-house Server RoomsOutsourcedData Centre
Server Utilisationoperate at less than 10% of server processing capacity - one server per application.Can approach 90% using Cloud Applications where multiple tenants are using a single application servers are virtual running on blade processors
Cooling90% overhead PUE of >1.910% overhead Use of free/high efficient cooling- PUE of 1.1
Energy ManagementLow priority - IT Manager rarely even sees the Utility Bill - Usually no separate energy monitoringTop Priority - Managing energy is core to the business process and is linked to bottom line profitability and used to attract clients

Department of Engineering
University of Cambridge
Department of Engineering Overview
Accounts for around 10% of university.
Activities based in 7 buildings.
Around 600 members of staff
Four year M.Eng course around 1,200 students.
Postgraduate students numbers:
2011 (792) - 2012 (830)
The Problem
BackgroundInitially a distributed arrangement.
Centralised computing resources in two computer rooms (34 racks,12 racks)
Pre 2010 Cooling ArrangementRefrigerant based CRAC system, full recirculation via under floor plenum
63kW plug-load
Key Project DriversUniversity Energy Incentivisation Scheme (EIS)
Further server purchases planned
IT electricity consumption is a significant part of the Departments energy base load
ApproachKJ Tait feasibility study
Support from the Universitys Estate Management
Computing Staff
Salix Funding
The Solution - Installation
Cold aisle containment6 EcoCooling CRECs giving 150kW N+1EC Extract FansAmbient air through louverSelf contained plant roomNo raised floor
Before Energy Use 2010
`
IT Load~63kWCooling and Lighting~35kWPUE of 1.65
The Results Energy Use 2011
PUE of 1.1
Engineerings Data Centre electrical loads
300 MWh electrical base load
Pre 2010 35% = Server rooms
Now 2 x Data Centres and 23% of base load
Purchasing vs energy performance
Risks Reliability and Maintenance
Initially maintenance was not comprehensively scheduled
Location - surprising amount of large fibres caught by insect screen in the Spring
3 monthly maintenance of the equipment is required
Routine deep cleaning of facility to ISO 7
With internal installation room cleanliness needs to be maintained
Move as many applications to The Cloud as possible minimising the number of in-house servers
Sub-meter all server rooms and measure PUE
Rationalise in-house servers
identify redundant equipment and power down
Assess the potential to reduce the PUE in you server rooms
Increase Room temperature
Implement hot/aisle containment
