Recovery Act: Data Center Transfer from “Always On” to “Always Available” to Reduce Power
The project encompasses the solution to the problem of underutilized IT resources in and across data centers, which is to develop an “On Demand” operational model. Within this context, by keeping the optimum number of servers online at any time to meet actual customer demand, data center operators are able to generate significant cost and energy savings. Servers that are not needed to meet demand are taken offline automatically. They are brought online dynamically as demand increases, thus matching customer demand with the computing supply needed to guarantee expected service levels. The swings between peak and non-peak usage become a cost reduction opportunity.
