In EMERALD is aware of the fact that CPDs are some of the greatest power consumers;
they consume nearly 2 % of the power used all over the country.
A few years ago, in the CPD Design and Facilities there used to be no excessive
preoccupation for the consumption demanded by these Facilities and the quantity
of CO2 released in the atmosphere, more guarantee for continuity rather than efficiency
was demanded.
Nowadays, with the tendency of greater power consumption on Servers, the need for
a CPD efficiency-improvement policy is a fact.
EMERALD provides power optimization services for the global study of the energy
demand and assessment of alternatives allowing the reduction of the consumption
and costs of the power necessary for Data Processing Centres and Technical Rooms.
