Got a copy of the Cassatt Energy Efficiency Survey. Highlights are as follows:
From the responses we received from IT professionals and facilities managers we learned several interesting facts:
- 63% of you are either working on a data center energy-efficiency project now or expect to within the next year
- 43% of you have a data center that is within 25% of its maximum power capacity
- 61% of you are aware that the EPA recommends turning off idle servers to save energy, but over 30% say you don’t know how many servers are idle at any given time
- Server power management software is the energy saving strategy that large companies selected most frequently as their next step for the future (29%)
