Green Group Tells Data Centres To Run Servers Hotter
IT kit has toughened up, so data centres can turn off the coolers
The Green Grid" href="http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/tag/green-grid">Green Grid – which promotes IT efficiency – has urged data centres to operate their servers at higher temperatures and greater humidity, to save energy.
Data centres are still operating on old-fashioned principles that waste energy by cooling servers and equipment down to temperatures far inside their operating limits, when IT kit is now resilient enough to run at higher temperatures and humidities, says the Green Grid, in a new report, Data Centre Efficiency & IT Equipment Reliability.
