We believe that energy efficiency in data centres is one of the most significant issue facing technology providers and customers today. Our SizingLounge™ engineers have combined years of server sizing experience with their innovative ServerRank™ technology to improve the energy efficiency of data centres.

TCO Calculator - SizingLounge™ provides a TCO Calculator that considers High Availability, Grid Computing and Server Consolidation. You can quickly calculate the estimated additional costs for energy, labour, storage and software licenses. As a result of our TCO calculation, you can visualize the breakdown of all TCO cost categories.

Blade Servers - SizingLounge™ is also able to calculate configurations also with Blade Servers, which can reduce energy consumption by up 50 percent compared to typical rack optimised servers. You can compare initial costs of Blade Servers with those of traditional servers, and calculate energy and cost savings when using Blade environments.

Virtualisation - SizingLounge.com allows you to calculate server virtualisation and consolidated systems in order to increase system utilisation. This can significantly reduce energy consumption of your data centre.

Green IT initiatives from other resources

The Green Grid is a global consortium dedicated to promoting energy efficiency for data centres.

The Climate Savers Computing Initiative is a nonprofit group of consumers, businesses and conservation organizations dedicated to promoting smart technologies that can improve the power efficiency and reduce the energy consumption of computers.

EPA is working with all interested parties in order to identify ways in which energy efficiency can be measured, documented, and implemented into data centres and the equipment that they house, especially servers.

Efficient Servers is a project conducted within the EU-program Intelligent Energy Europe. It aims at demonstrating the high potential for energy savings and cost reductions for servers in practise and at supporting the market development for energy efficient servers.

SPECpower_ssj2008 is a benchmark designed to improve efficiency by comparing performance with power across different servers.
