The power consumption costs of a Data Center grows at an average of 15% annually. The energy consumption costs for 5 years is equivalent to the total investment of building a complete Data Center. Best tool to effectively measure the Data Center performance in terms of energy efficiency, energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Without measuring and understanding the current Data Center performance, it is impossible to set goals, define a strategy or measure progress on energy savings. Energy Savings=Cost Savings.The AST PUE meter is a state-of-the-art unit, which allows the Data Center user to measure the following parameters:
• Power consumption.
• Energy efficiency.
• Effectiveness of measures implemented and direct cost savings.
• CO2 footprint.
It allows the end user to know the exact values of the Data Center power consumption and real PUE* value. Once these values are known, the actions needed to optimize the Data Center energy costs can be defined. As per new regulations regarding CO2 emissions for companies and countries, the SMART PUE meter allows the end user to know exactly what are the CO2 emissions. It is an excellent tool to analyze any actions taken to improve the Data Center energy costs and measure their effectiveness.
CO2 emissions reduction is becoming compulsory. The SMART PUEmeter allows any company to calculate its real CO2 emissions of their Data Centers and to measure its performance against any other peer companies.
Power Consumption of IT equipment-only
In 90% of existing Data Centers, the PUE values, CO2 emissions and kW/h consumption are unknown. The SMART PUE meter allows the end user to see the evolution of these values and to foresee the energy costs evolution in the near future, in order to minimize the energy costs and the environmental impact.
