This report from the Green Grid provides a framework for improving the efficiency of both new and existing data centers, reviewing the ways data centers consume energy and offering best practices to increase efficiency across operations.

Power consumption has long taken a back seat to power density in data centers, as companies sought to expand their facilities into all available floor space, and needed to pack the biggest punch per square foot. But with the steady rise of electricity cost, coupled with the increased capacity and cooling needs of those servers, data center operators are taking their electric bills very seriously.

In this paper, the Green Grid examines the current patterns of electrical consumption in data centers, and presents a series of strategies to help lower those energy needs. Their best practices touch on all aspects of the data center, from the electric bill to design and hardware use, and how best to deploy staff in data centers.
