CFD, power strips, cabinets, oh my!

All of these provide ways to become more efficient, right? The answer is yes – but only if you deploy the right plan/equipment at the right time and manage the project in the right way.

From power strips that can monitor power at the device level, to software that tracks every spec of air, to products that enable visibility from across the world, to government rebates just for conducting an audit – efficiency is the topic de jour. But what do you do with these products? How do you choose what is right for your enterprise? How do you properly manage and monitor these projects? The importance of having the knowledge and experience to successfully implement a data center efficiency initiative is a critical issue.

There is no such thing as a six-month energy efficiency project. An energy efficiency project must change the way a company views its data center with an eye toward the future – and include the creation of a model that can be used for all sites. With the right execution, you will get the results that experts brag about.

So let’s keep the efficiency discussion going…but let’s also talk about how essential the service aspect is to a successful, cost-efficient solution.
