Reduce your energy costs: data centre efficiency

Thinking of reducing your data centre power bill or CO2 emissions then talk to Keysource today.

Keysource is leading the way in designing new highly efficient and resilient facilities. With the only operational data centre in the UK with a recorded annualised PUE of sub 1.2, we like to think we know what we’re talking about.

How serious are you? Did you know the UK average data centre PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) figure is around 2? In simple terms this means for a facility with an IT load of 50kW, a total of 100kW of power is being consumed.  In money terms, the annual electric bill at 9p/kwh is £78,840.

Let’s say you pick up the phone and call Keysource and we send our specialist team to re arrange things so your facility has been upgraded to have a PUE of 1.2. Keysource has just saved you £31,536 a year as well as 185 tonnes of CO2.

The serious bit. Everyone can benefit from savings in the way you run and operate your facility whether it is installing a new efficient cooling system, simply better data centre airflow management or improved power distribution. The key thing in all instances is measurement. Day 1 to get a real idea of the PUE of your facility and then ongoing to see what impact any changes have on both the efficiency but more importantly the performance of the space as a whole. Keysource's work with Yorkshire Water is a great example of this.
