1. Data centers are a major consumer of power in the US, accounting for 1.5-2.5% of total US power usage. There are over 3 million data centers in the US ranging significantly in size. 2. Energy costs, specifically for powering and cooling servers, is the fastest growing expense for data centers and will account for nearly $40 billion spent in the US alone in 2010. 3. Current tools can measure server utilization and power consumption separately but not together. Viridity Software aims to be the only solution that combines these metrics to provide "power utilization" tied to business needs to help address the challenges of rising energy costs and power constraints in data centers.
