To steer and control power usage successfully a power usage monitoring system should be in place to get this done.It is nice that we have the PUE metric but at the end it is only a formulae. To have…Continue

Rien Dijkstra commented on Michiel van Blommestein's blog post 'How Redundancy does NOT Sacrifice Efficiency'"The key question is how to ensure that the redundancy is achieved in the most energy efficient way possible. As shortly discussed in my blog (http://bit.ly/cJVroM) The Greenmetrics Conference 2009 in Seattle produced a paper named “Quantifying…"
David Cuthbertson replied to Rien Dijkstra's post 'Monitoring Framework Needed?'"Agree with you. I woudl expand the word "framework" to cover not just monitoring, but also planning. In practice you design using various criteria, experience, risk, availabel data to decide on placement and limits. Monitoring various…"

Rien Dijkstra replied to Rien Dijkstra's post 'Monitoring Framework Needed?'"With PUE there seems to be an emerging standard metric for power usage of a data center. The calculation of the PUE is a problem.
This is from my perspective due to (with all respect to involved parties) the immature market; bottom-up design, stove…"
Michiel van Blommestein replied to Rien Dijkstra's post 'Monitoring Framework Needed?'"Would be great, but all those vendors and all those different metrics.. every single one of them wants 'his' standard to be THE standard. Not to mention that we would be looking at a whole set here.

Continue Shortage in power supply
Posted on February 5, 2010 at 9:14 0 Comments 0 Likes
We maybe take electrical power supply to the data center for granted but the power transmission networks can be a bottle neck (a.k.a. Critical Areas for Transmission Congestion). But apart from studies in the U.S. are their other studies available for other parts of the world?…
