Green IT starts with green components


While getting the infrastructure right is seen an accessible and flexible part of the power usage effectiveness (PUE) equation, IT power consumption costs have to date been seen as something of a fixed given. Now, developments in hardware technology in the past year have pulled the right choice of components into sharp focus – not only for IT managers, but also for decision makers in purchasing departments.


Memory has emerged as the major contributor to energy consumption on the IT–side of PUE calculations. This has happened partially because of the strong penetration of social platforms and their insatiable thirst for capacity, and partially because of attempts by system engineers to minimize the communication bottleneck by increasing the number of channels between memory and CPU that are addressing up to 192GB of DRAM per core nowadays.


Leveraging developments in server technology is a feasible way to impact power consumption. Along with multicore concepts, the latest INTEL (Westmere) and AMD (Magny Cours) server CPUs utilize the latest memory protocol called


“DDR3” to mitigate increasing power requirements. Samsung Semiconductors Green Solutions combine this DDR3 protocol with leading edge manufacturing technology of 30nm* class, low voltage and high-density components to realize a power saving potential of 86 percent over traditional technology, which translates to a whopping 40 percent savings at system level.


These are savings that no business can ignore and, with the cost of power only ever heading in one direction, choosing the right components— at grass roots level—can help a business do more with the same, which is a real competitive advantage in the recovery stage of a major recession.


At their booth at SNW Europe, Samsung will be showcasing a server system comparison that reveals amazing insights on the reduction of primary energy consumption as well as thermal heat dissipation in the running system. This analysis has been lab-tested and acknowledged by the German TUV Rhineland who is also partnering with Samsung at SNW Europe.


* 30nm = 40 nano meter, corresponds to smallest line width to be implemented on a silicon; the lower the number the more leading the technology.
