HP BL260c Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Clas - Page 12

As discussed previously in the section entitled "Challenges to the enterprise data center," power and cooling involves a complex chain of small inter-related gains, from the power of individual components to the problems of using data center air chillers efficiently (Figure 6). Figure 6. Incremental efficiency gains in the IT power and cooling chain HP Energy Efficiency Services Insight Dynamics - VSE: Integrated dynamic infrastructure management Insight Control Environment with Dynamic Power Capping Increase capacity by dynamically managing server power Storage Thin Provisioning / Dynamic Capacity Management Allocating physical storage as needed HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD) Dense, power-optimized data center environment Modular Cooling System High-density local cooling for dense server deployments HP BladeSystem Thermal logic optimizes power and cooling Power Optimized HP ProLiant Servers Efficiency designed in, not added on Low Power Options: processors, memory, SSD drives up to half the power consumption Energy savings from the component to the data center The complexity of this power/heat problem led HP to focus on these aspects of an effective thermal management strategy: • Accurate measurement of power and cooling resources • Maximum efficiency • Real-time analysis and optimization Table 1 provides some examples of HP technologies that support these design aspects. 12
