Energy Consumption: US power rate 10.27 cents per Kilowatt hour) in 2008 according to DOE/eia (http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_3.html) In a typical data center for every watt in server power there can be another 0.5 to 1 watt consumed for power distribution losses and cooling. Power (Switch Gear, UPS, Battery backup, etc) Cooling (Chillers, CRACs, etc) Building load Demand from grid IT load Demand from servers, storage, telco equipment, etc PUE = Total Facility Power/IT Equipment Power

Datacenters can cost between $10M and $20M per megawatt Capital depreciation costs are important Server acquisition costs may not dominate TCO Basic 1U Server - 5 year TCO Total Equipment cost per server Energy Usage cost per server Datacenter Capital cost per server Datacenter operating cost per server
- 15. ©Microsoft® 2009 Holistic Optimization Datacenter and Servers together PUE is an excellent metric for evaluating effectiveness of datacenter infrastructure Server performance per watt can vary Rightsizing of server configuration can improve overall energy efficiency Low Power processors often offer best performance per watt Microsoft optimizes the total solution for best performance per TCO$ 15
- 16. ©Microsoft® 2009 Server Hardware Design Considerations The datacenter is the server! Performance/Watt/Dollar Drive change in the industry through strong partnerships Deliver value to on-line service partners through customized designs
- 18. Vendor Specs & Microsoft Plan 10-35 C (50-95 F) Vendor Specs are much broader than ASHRAE • Make it easy to hit the target • Drive more economization
