| Emerson has logical solution |

Emerson Network Power has introduced Energy Logic, a step-by-step roadmap that provides Data Center and IT Managers, Energy Managers, CIOs and Facility Managers with a prioritized approach to reducing energy consumption in IT environments. Emerson Energy Logic centers on the so-called “cascade effect”, by which each Watt saved at the processor level can save an average of 2.84 Watts in energy consumption, due to the interaction between use and the power supply circuit.
As a result, Energy Logic enables savings to be quantified and provides an estimated time of return on investment for each recommended action within the roadmap. Following the Energy Logic sequence can potentially save more than 50 percent of a data center’s load. For example, in an Emerson Network Power-modeled scenario of a 5,000-square-foot data center, applying the recommended strategies produced a savings of 585 kW from the data center’s initial 1,127 kW load. It also freed up two-thirds of the space, one-third of UPS capacity and 40 percent of cooling capacity, enabling easy expansion of computing capacity in the same data center. “When we released our report earlier this year, we stressed that energy reductions could be achieved with the proper planning and implementation of efficient technologies that exist today,” said Andrew Fanara of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “We encourage companies like Emerson Network Power to share any and all expertise that helps the data center community reduce their energy usage.”
