HP Powers up Data Center Reliability, Puts the Freeze on Energy Costs

Managing power, cooling and associated costs is an ever-growing challenge for IT departments of any size. Analyst firm IDC estimates that it would cost almost $400,000 annually to power a 1,000 volume server-unit data center.(1) In the last 10 years, server power densities have increased tenfold; this year 15-kilowatt racks have hit the market.

HP’s new solutions can deliver significant cost savings by dramatically reducing energy use and increasing data center utilization. At the same time, the technologies help prepare customers for future generations of increasingly powerful, and energy thirsty, IT systems.

“HP’s power and cooling technologies are helping customers win the war on heat,” said Paul Perez, vice president, storage, networking and infrastructure, Industry Standard Servers, HP. “In combination with HP’s best practices to optimize data center operations, these solutions offer customers high-density IT resources that improve overall cost, performance and reliability.”
