More Minneapolis colocation
centers are striving to increase
performance while cutting down
on costs and rack space
Sponsored by DataCenterLeadGen.com

Their preferred solution is
high-density servers that can
deliver up to four times the
power while maintaining
a smaller footprint

Properly implemented,
this design strategy enables
higher efficiencies and lower costs

with no negative impact on
overall service availability

Capital Cost Benefits

Choosing high-density servers
enable colocation center
managers to use a smaller building
with fewer racks and rack power
configurations

while at the same time offering
hosting services to a high
customer volume

Other costs that are dependent
on building size also go down,
such as overhead lighting and
cable length,

eliminating the need to pass
higher expenses on to customers

Operating Cost Benefits

High-density data centers have
the power and cooling capability
of over 12kW per equipment rack,

as opposed to the lower-density
average of 4-6kW

The more storage, network and
computing services that can be
delivered per rack area cost,

the better it is for customer prices
and the environment

Bottom Line

These designs have demonstrated
benefits that make a difference
in service prices:

• Lower construction costs

• Fewer racks and PDUs needed

• Less expensive to cool:
high-density cooling is on
average 20% to 30% less than
traditional air conditioning

• Cooling technology needs
less energy to move air over
a smaller distance and also
requires less chiller capacity

The move to a high-density
data center environment

benefits both operator and
customer in terms of reduced
costs and limited environmental
impact,

making it an appealing solution
for everyone involved

Is your colocation center
high-density or making the move
in that direction by retrofitting
structures and equipment?

If so, have the lower prices been
passed on to your customers?
