Efficiency Strategies

Nearly half of a data centerʼs energy bill is from power and cooling infrastructure. Gartner reports that 70% of CIOs say power and cooling issues are the single largest concern facing their data centers.

As complex as they are critical, data centers and telecommunications switching rooms present a range of challenges for facility executives. Not least among these is the delicate balancing act of ensuring reliability without letting energy costs get out of control.

UNS takes a holistic view of these challenges that can generate significant operational cost (OPEX) savings. Implementing modern technology such as: in-row/in-rack cooling architecture and modular power protection compounds the savings. We typically see 20-60% savings on our client’s utility bill after implementing our efficiency strategies.

Our Critical Facility Energy Profiles (CFEP) service provides an analysis of your current power and cooling infrastructure to determine the baseline efficiency of your wiring closet, server room or data center. Our critical facilities specialist will document the existing infrastructure, determine the efficiency and provide an accurate assessment of the factors limiting the highest achievable efficiency of the data center. The critical facility specialist will provide a comprehensive report that will make recommendations for changes to maximize efficiency. The following seven (7) key areas of your Network Critical Physical Infrastructure is evaluated:

• Power
• Cooling
• Enclosures/Racks
• Security
• Fire Suppression
• Management
• Recycle/Re-use of Old Equipment
