HP Energy Efficiency Analysis

2. What it is?
Rising energy costs, proliferating high-power density equipment,
and increasing public interest in greenhouse gas emissions
management has necessitated enhancing the efficiency of your data
center infrastructure through a sound energy management system.
Energy costs, facilities, and IT account for up to 60 percent of the
total facility operational cost.1 Unfortunately, many businesses with
last-generation data centers and other limiting factors are facing
obstacles on how to react to these converging challenges.
HP Energy Efficiency Analysis helps calculate your baseline
energy efficiency, and provides recommendations and actions.
The quantified results of your financial and environmental impact
helps improve the efficiency of your facilities.

What it does?
In keeping with your strategy, the Energy Efficiency Analysis
identifies your current performance and provides options for the
design and implementation of improvements of your data center’s
energy efficiency to a predetermined level.
The service:
• Compares your data center to industry benchmarks and best
practice in terms of power utilization efficiency (PUE)
• Identifies the mechanical and electrical sources of inefficiency
• Spots air management metrics in the data center
• Ascertains (energy-related) operational or maintenance issues
• Identifies ways to improve efficiency with mechanical and
electrical recommendations based on best practices that increase
energy efficiency
• Provides potential return on investment scenarios based on your
chosen strategy

The assessment is then presented in the form of a report that can
help you:
• Understand the current inefficiencies in your data center in the
form of tangible metrics for external benchmarking
• Quantify the carbon footprint of your facility
• Identify operational and maintenance practices that may affect
energy efficiency and how they can be improved
• Adopt mechanical and electrical concepts that may improve
efficiency with associated high-level cost-benefit analysis
• Determine a strategy for energy efficiency improvements,
including potential solutions for implementing the
recommendations
