Energy Efficient Data Center Solutions & Products
Description Power & Cooling Savings*
Solution: Storage Virtualization Increasing storage utilization allows for the decommissioning of underutilized assets and the setting of higher utilization policies by storage administrators
4% Products: MDS, Nexus Series
Solution: Application Delivery Using a service module form factor versus appliances for SSL Offload and Server Load Balancing provides incremental power savings
1% Products: Application Control Engine
Solution: Security Services Using a service module form factor versus appliances for firewall services provides incremental power savings related to security
1% Products: Firewall Services Module
Solution: Networked CRAC Simply connecting Computer Room Air-Conditioning (CRAC) and "synching" them through Cisco partner technology can eliminate "demand fighting" between CRAC units
9% Products: Catalyst Series or Equivalent
Solution: LAN/SAN Consolidation Unified Fabrics and Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) reduces network infrastructure and structured cabling requirements
1%
Products: Nexus Series
Solution: Right‐Sizing Planning for UPS and CRAC using tested nominal draw of Cisco products helps to mitigate "cascaded inefficiency”
1% Products: NA, Planning Consideration

1 Group = 1200 Appliance Watts!
Logical Server Groups!
1 Group = 1200 Appliance Watts!
Each new logical server group added requires 1200 Watts incremental for appliances to provide SSL, load balancing and firewall services
Bringing these services onto the network using service modules adds 800 Watts incremental loading for up to 250 Logical Server Groups (contexts)
