      CBI reaction to recommendations on Carbon Reduction Commitment
      The CBI today (Friday) commented on the Committee on Climate Change’s recommendation for the Government to re-design the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) energy efficiency scheme. Dr Neil Bentley, CBI Director for Business Environment, said: “An effective CRC would encourage businesses to cut their energy use, but in reality many firms’ experiences of complying with the scheme have been slow and arduous. It is a sad state of affairs that the current CRC risks distracting organisations from the real goal of energy efficiency.

      Q&A: Mark Bramfitt on Utilities and Data Centers
      Mark Bramfitt is a leading expert on the relationship between the data center and electric utilities. After years of working with data center operators in a position at California utility PG&E, Bramfitt is now consulting on energy efficiency and power management. Last week on his blog Mark shared some thoughts on the recent Facebook-Greenpeace controversy over power sourcing for data centers. He wrote: “The resolution of this conundrum, in my view, is an increased partnership between the industry and utilities, addressing energy efficiency, demand response, and yes, power sourcing. The IT industry as a whole needs to engage proactively in these matters to avoid potentially damaging criticism now and in the future.”

      One Size Does Not Fit All in the Data Center
      We often use the term “data center” as a catch-all that addresses any computing environment, but the reality is that the architecture of a data center varies considerably depending on the applications that it is designed to serve. And because one size does not fit all when it comes to data center networks, it can be difficult knowing how best to evolve the data center architecture to ensure that it scales to handle the increasing load as end users continue to demand higher performance for rich media or other applications. Let’s take a quick look at different types of data center applications and architectures, how their challenges differ, and how their criteria for adopting networking technologies and selecting equipment are impacted by these differences, today and in the future.

      Up To 5,000 Firms Could Face CRC Fines Next Week
      Around 5,000 businesses and public sector organisations have yet to register for the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme, according to on365, an infrastructure and utility specialist. With the deadline looming at the end of next week, fines of up to £45,000 on each organisation could be levied. A further hazard is that the Environment Agency’s application process and checks take up to four weeks. That means that companies applying today could still miss the cut-off date. Companies failing to submit in time face an immediate £5,000 fee and an additional charge of £500 per day, capped at £45,000.

      A data center is a big energy user, allegedly using up to 50 times as much power as the equivalent business office space and incurring an estimated annual power bill of around $1.6 million. This situation is reiterated by the U.K.’s technology industry body, Intellect, which stated that the average data center consumes the same amount of energy as 25,000 households. Although many facilities moving to use more-energy-efficient servers and computers, the growth in this industry is outstripping the energy savings.
