The Role of Data Centers in Energy Saving is Increasing

An increasing number of data centers around the world is also becoming a prominent sector in energy consumption. Radore, which saves up to 70 percent energy with Free Cooling technology, shares in 4 steps what data centers need to follow to save money With digitalization, data centers, whose number and workloads are increasing, are becoming a sector that also stands out in energy consumption. According to research by Berkeley Lab, data centers in the US are responsible for about 4 percent of electricity consumption in the entire country. According to research by Emerson, with the revolution in both social media and cloud technologies, power density is estimated to reach 52 kW per rack in 2025. At this point, data centers have important jobs for a greener technology industry. Radore Data Center, which saves up to 70 percent energy with the "Free Cooling" technology used in air conditioning infrastructure, lists the things to consider in terms of energy saving as follows:

• Low PUE rate: The low PUEratio, which stands for 'energy use efficiency', is one of the most important factors that show how efficiently a data center works. The average PUE rate of data centers in the United States is set at 1.85, while Radore's average annual PUE rate is 1.43.
• New generation air conditioning devices: Certain air conditioning conditions are required for the IT components in the data center to work properly. If the temperature and humidity rates required by the devices are not provided, malfunctions and situations that affect business continuity may occur. Thanks to the new generation air conditioning devices, this risk can be minimized and significantly reduces electricity consumption.
• Accurate monitoring of energy use: Thanks to the instant monitoring of the energy consumption of all cabinets in the data center, measures can be taken quickly for energy consumption outside of planning. At the same time, thanks to accurate cost analysis, additional savings are possible.
• Cloud computing and virtualization technologies: Physical IT components that are idle or underutilized are already using up energy. The virtualization technologies that come with cloud computing provide significant efficiency because they enable system resources to be allocated much more efficiently.
