What is the GreenEdge...
One of the core areas of GreenEdge Data™ is the want to have the most cost effective and efficient DC solution.
We have done this in 3 ways
- Incorporation of Best Practices
- Cold Isle / Hot Isle Containment
- Minimise foot Print
- Reduce air speed – less energy to run the fans
- Multiple circuits on key system
- Use of industry leading product
- Stulz – Leading brand in airconditioning
- Eaton – leading UPS supplier
- FSI – leading Fire systems specialist
- B & R – Leading Rack supplier
- Innovative Design
- Unique Airflow Design
- Functional layout
- Segregation of utilities and Data Area
- Incorporation of high security solutions
All of this adds up to greater efficiency and reduced ongoing cost.
How?
A “traditional” DC will use a ratio of 1 to 1 to maintain the environment around the rack. i.e. 3.5 kW consumed by the rack, 3.5 kW consumed to maintain the cooling & power environment.
GreenEdge Data™ solution
GED use 1:0.50 in our worst case scenario, average is 1:0.2
In the example below we compare a DC that consumes 2.00 MW
|
Example 1
Standard DC
|
Example 2
GED DC
|
|
IT power load of 2MW
|
IT power load of 2MW
|
|
With a PUE for a standard DC of 2
|
With a PUE for a GED IFAC of 1.2
|
|
Total power load from the power grid will be 4MW Power over head from IT load is 2MW Therefore 2MW = 2MWh
|
Total power load from the power grid will be 2.4MW Power over head from IT load is .4MW Therefore .4MW = .4MWh
|
|
1 day = 48MWh
|
1 day = 9.6MWh
|
|
1 month = 1440MWh
|
1 month = 288MWh
|
|
1 year = 17,280MWh
|
1 Year = 3,456MWh
|
Power saving = 17,280 - 3,456 = 13,824MWh difference
$ Saving = @ 12c per kWh this equates to a saving of $ 1,658,880.00
Carbon savings = @ 1.22kg, 13824MWh equates to 16,865 TONNES of CO2 Savings per year.
