This green data center e-book serves as an all-in-one guide to lead you through the process of creating an energy-efficient data center. 

Explore this solution brief to learn about an innovative rack server series specifically designed to help organizations deploy and effectively run Microsoft Exchange Server environments. Learn more about the advanced features and benefits of this hardware. 

IBM System x enterprise servers in the new emerging data center targets virtualization and consolidation, database, and enterprise applications, while focusing on performance, reliability, and manageability. This means better value for your IT dollar. 

By replacing aging single-core processor-based servers with new, more energy-efficient servers, you can gain capacity to grow and to increase IT performance using fewer servers. The estimated cost savings from energy and other operating cost efficiencies can pay for new servers in a an estimated 8 months. 

The obstacles for not measuring power consumption are real, but not having information often leads to major operational and strategic issues. Read this whitepaper to learn how to begin energy optimization and energy resource management with Viridity's EnergyCenter software. 

Lakeview Medical Center needed to optimize their IT environment to combat data center infrastructure challenges. CDW helped them put VMware to work consolidating their servers and providing a more efficient environment. Read this quick case study to learn how they reduced backup times, improved response times, and reduced cost of ownership. 

High-density servers offer a significant performance per watt benefit. But, depending on the deployment, they can present a cooling challenge. This paper provides ten approaches for increasing cooling efficiency, cooling capacity and power density. 

A new approach to power distribution for high density server installations saves floor space, simplifies power cabling, saves capital cost, reduces weight, and increases electrical efficiency. This paper describes this distribution architecture and quantifies the benefits. 

This white paper describes the types of PM services that can help safeguard the uptime of data centers and IT equipment rooms. 

This paper discusses new piping approaches, which can dramatically reduce the risk of leakage and facilitate high-density deployment. 

IT equipment mounted in racks cools itself by drawing ambient air from the data center or network room. If the heated exhaust air is allowed to return to the air inlet of the equipment, an undesirable overheating condition may occur. This paper explains how this problem compromises the cooling process and the benefit of using air blanking panels. 

In this e-book, you'll learn about setting up a cooling monitoring system, optimizing data center cooling efficiency, using hot aisle/ cold aisle containment systems, and economizer selection and implementation. 

The quest for efficiency improvement raises questions regarding the optimal air temperature for data centers. The goal is to find the optimal temperature range where the combined IT and cooling load is minimized. Data presented is based upon actual sealed testing of different cooling systems when subjected to the simulated composite server...
