Utilizing the new Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series with its dynamic performance capabilities, energy-efficiency features, and greater memory bandwidth, high-performance computing solutions can increase application performance by up to three times without requiring further investment in software development or increased power and cooling support for your data center. This product brief has the details. (more…)
In the video, Jon Haas of Intel’s EcoTechnology Program Office explains how The Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to developing and promoting energy efficiency for data centers and information service delivery, is tackling the energy issues. Data center managers around the world are running into limits related to power, cooling, and space – and the rise in demand for the important work of data centers has created a noticeable impact on the world’s power grids. In response, the members of The Green Grid have taken up the challenge of developing metrics to measure data center efficiency and the tools to improve it. (more…)
Old fabs don’t go away, they come back as….data centers? This video, the second in IT@Intel’s series of Intel’s world-class data centers, shows how Intel took a wafer fabrication facility (fab) with a 3-story design and retrofited it as a data center. You can see innovations in data center power delivery and air cooling, as well as one of the world’s fastest super computers. (more…)
Learn about Intel’s investigation of air economizers to optimize power and cooling in their data centers. The proof of concept (PoC) test used 100% air exchange over a 10-month period with an extreme range in temperature, humidity and air quality. The result was an estimated data center power savings of 67% and a potential savings of $2.87 million for a 10-MW data center. (more…)
Intel IT conducted a proof of concept to see if an air economizer could be used to cool production servers with 100% outside air. In this archived webinar, Don Atwood, data center and server operations manager in five states in the United States and Central/South America, discusses the proof of concept and the results. (more…)
With data center power consumption costs rising, Intel was looking for a way to support the growth in computing capacity in a way that would minimize costs. To challenge industry assumptions regarding data center cooling, Intel IT conducted this proof of concept test that used an air economizer to cool production servers with 100 percent outside air at temperatures of up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Read about the results of this 10 month study.
