Analyzing the Data Center Efficiency by Using PUE to Make Data Centers More Energy Efficient by Reducing the Electrical Consumption and Exploring New Strategies

In today's technology driven world the growth of the data centers have been enormous to match the required needs of various institutions, organizations and governments etc. for storing data in a safe and secure manner. Similarly efficient use of electrical energy is gaining importance due to diminishing resources and ever growing demands. Therefore the efficient energy utilization is a must in a data center. In this paper we have discussed the architecture, electrical system and the cooling system of a data center in a generalized manner. Also all the basic required parameters for calculating the energy efficiency of the data center are considered. Suggested procedure can be utilized for the power consumption analysis of a data center and obtained results can help taking measures to improve the energy utilization of the data center.
