How to start to save energy

In the progress: Dynamic Datacenter will help

Data Center– Result Server Efficiency- going up High voltage distribution Shared power supplies More efficient cooling– higher inlet temperatures PUE– going down Economizers- use outside air to cool when possible Density- higher density drives efficiency Utilization– going up Virtualization Shared Infrastructure Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) is the ratio of total data center power to the IT load and represents the amount of auxiliary support (primarily cooling) the servers require to perform. The graph above shows the 30% improvement in PUE one of our facilities was able to achieve over the last three years through innovation and adoption of best practices * This significance of this improvement becomes clear when you consider that each 0.1 improvement in PUE represents over 4000 MWhrs of electricity conserved annually.

Some of these settings are only appropriate in very special circumstances and should only be used with a thorough understanding of how they function. (Disabling suspend states, for example, is only needed in hardcore BitLocker Drive Encryption deployments.) Here's an overview of the 35 settings to get you started.
