 Data Center
 Facility used to house computer systems and
associated components.

 Includes Backup Power Supplies, Data

Communication Controls & Environmental Controls.

 Found due to growth of IT sector and Internet.

 It can occupy one room of a building, one or more

floors, or an entire building.
 Green Computing
 The study and practice of using computing resources
efficiently.

 The goal is, reduce the use of hazardous materials,

maximize energy efficiency during the product's
lifetime, and promote recyclability.

 In 1992, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

launched Energy Star, program designed to promote
and recognize energy-efficiency in monitors.

 “Green Computing” coined after Energy Star.

Data Center Green Computing

Green Data Center

 A repository for the storage, management, and
dissemination of data in which the mechanical, lighting,
electrical and computer systems are designed for
maximum energy efficiency and minimum
environmental impact.

 Major solution providers IBM, CISCO & AtlantaNAP.

 Major points:
 When Bigger Is Not Better
 Keeping Cool And Still Using Less
 Use Backup Generators
 Newer Computers Use Less Energy
 Recycling Just About Everything
 Virtualization:
The process of running two or more logical computer
systems on one set of physical hardware.

 Power management:
 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
 Undervolting (manually controlling voltage levels)

 Storage:
 Smaller form factor hard disk drives often consume
less power than physically larger
drives.
 DRAM uses more power than Hard Disk.
 Video Card:
 A fast GPU may be the largest power consumer in a
computer.
 Use a shared terminal, shared thin client, or
desktop sharing.

 Display:
 LCD monitors use a cold-cathode fluorescent bulb to
provide light for the display.
 Newer displays use array of LEDs in place of fluorescent
bulb so reduces the amount of electricity used by the
display.

 Telecommuting:
 Often implemented in green computing initiatives.
 Increased profit margins.
 Increased worker satisfaction.
