Energy Logic

As the demand for greater capacity and flexibility in today's data centers continues to increase, so does the need for solutions that ensure a lower cost of ownership. In the past, associations, consultants and vendors have promoted their own best practices for enhancing data center energy efficiency, covering everything from facility lighting to cooling system design. These have proven useful in helping some companies slow the trend of rising data center energy consumption, but the proliferation of conflicting ideas has left many IT professionals confused and frustrated.

Enter Energy Logic from Emerson Network Power, a holistic and vendor-neutral approach to achieving energy efficiency and reducing operating costs without compromising availability or flexibility. Comprised of ten simple actions, the Energy Logic approach offers best practices that start with IT equipment and progress to the facility's support infrastructure, with the potential of reducing data center energy consumption by 50 percent and optimizing the three most critical obstacles faced by data center managers: power, cooling and space.
