Dell Makes Server Chassis with Power Budget for Three Generations; Says Data Center Energy Efficiency is Largely Operational Challenge  

Albert Esser, Dell VP of Data Center Infrastructure, and Ken Brill, Uptime Institute Executive Director, discuss Dell’s approach to helping its customers be more energy efficient. This information-rich podcast will reorient you to possibilities for creating energy efficiency in your data center. Says Albert Esser, “IT and Facilities must work together and view [energy efficiency] as a joint, holistic challenge. There is no silver bullet. You have to start with the component level, in the server; you have to go through the rack-level optimization, and then through enterprise practices including optimizing power and cooling methods.  Utilize what you have the best you can, both on the IT side and the Facilities side.”

Among other topics, Ken and Albert discuss Dell’s commitment to make its server chasses support three generations of servers at the present power budget, how raising cold aisle temperatures by five degrees farenheit can sginifcantly cut electricity consumption, and how using power management features and more efficient power supplies can have dramatic impact.
