Virtualization is only half the battle for effi ciency.

Virtualization is here to stay.
And it’s no wonder – it saves space and energy while letting you maximize your IT resources. But smaller footprints can come at a cost. Virtualized servers, even at 50 percent capacity, require special attention to cooling, no matter size or location.
1. Heat Server consolidation creates higher densities – and higher heat – per rack, risking downtime and failure.
2. Ineffi ciency Perimeter cooling can’t reach heat deep in the racks. And over-cooling is expensive and ineffective.
3. Power Events Virtual loads move constantly, making it hard to predict available power and cooling, risking damage to your network.
The right-sized way to virtualize. With the new HD-ready InfraStruxure architecture, you can take on high density by cooling the virtualized high-density row, controlling power at the rack level, and managing the system with advanced software and simulation. Though virtualizing saves energy, true effi ciency also depends on the relative effi ciencies of power, cooling, and servers. Right-sizing one and not the others (see Figure 1) leaves effi ciency savings on the table. To right-size, depend on the effi cient, modular, HD-ready InfraStruxure and neutralize heat at the source. Equipment will be safer and more effi cient running closer to 100 percent capacity.
Don’t agonize, virtualize.
What are you waiting for? With HD-ready InfraStruxure architecture, anyone can virtualize… anytime, anywhere. Just drop it in and go.
You can deploy high-density racks right now...
Deploy InfraStruxure as the foundation of your entire data centre or server room, or overlay into an existing large data centre.
