DATA CENTER
ENERGY AUDITS
Data centers consume up to 50 times the electricity of standard office space. In fact, energy is the single largest operating expense for data center managers. Left unaddressed, energy costs can become so high that they threaten to take capital from other investments and projects. Industry analysts expect data center energy consumption to continue to grow at more than 9% per year through 2020. However, the DOE has found that energy-efficient data centers are capable of reducing that consumption by up to 80%. IT managers know that adding more power capacity to an existing building is challenging, time-consuming, and costly. As a result, energy-efficiency measures that help reclaim capacity and IT measures that improve utilization rates and decrease power load can be very attractive.
ComNet’s commitment to proactive solutions can significantly:
- Extend the life of your power systems
- Decrease your capital investment
- Optimize system efficiency and effectiveness
- Increase overall system availability
