RMI’s Energy-efficient Data Center
Charrette, San Jose, 2–5 Feb 2003
>90 industry experts found ways
to save ~89% of the energy used
by a typical data center, probably
with lower total capital cost, faster
construction, and better uptime
and throughput
Ultra-low power consumption at
the architecture, software,
compiling, and device levels
Superefficient onsite power-andcooling
system; integrated design
decompounds loads; very efficient,
multi-purpose auxiliaries & systems;
can go further, even become
a net power producer
Real-estate model also very
important: charge by ft 2 and W
