Data center computer room plays an important role in enterprise data processing and storage, but it is also accompanied by high energy consumption. Among them, the power consumption of network equipment such as switches accounts for 40% - 70% of the total power consumption. In addition, the power consumption of cooling and lighting equipment in the computer room makes up a very high proportion of the total energy consumption of enterprise rooms. How can we reduce the energy consumption of the data center? Next, ETU-LINK will introduce several commonly used data center energy-saving solutions.

Energy saving of refrigeration equipment in computer room

v The network equipment should be placed alternately in cold and hot channels;

v Do not use glass around the machine room to transmit light, so as to reduce the heat energy brought by sunlight to the computer room;

v The temperature of the machine room does not need to be adjusted too low, 20 ℃ - 25 ℃ is OK.

Using UPS

UPS equipment with high input power factor can not only greatly reduce reactive power and loss, but also reduce the cost of front-end distribution devices and cables.

Upgrade transformer and data memory

v Choosing high quality transformer can improve the utilization of electric energy;

v Upgrade storage equipment, under the premise of a certain total capacity, the use of large-capacity disks consumes less energy than the combination of small-capacity disks.

Intelligent power management

v With blade server, virtualization and multi-core processor, enterprise data center can reduce the energy consumption of data center by reducing the number of servers.

The intelligent PDU temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the machine room in real time and reduce the energy consumption in the refrigeration of the machine room.

The above are several commonly used solutions to reduce the energy consumption of data center room. ETU-LINK can provide 10G, 25G, 40G optical modules, AOC active optical cable, DAC direct attach cable, optical fiber patch cord and other products commonly used in small and medium-sized data center rooms.
