Guide for Reducing Data Center Physical Infrastructure Energy Consumption in Federal Data Centers
Add bookmark
In an effort to create a clean energy economy, recent
US presidents and congress have issued a series of
legislation and executive orders requiring federal
agencies to increase energy efficiency and reduce
carbon emissions in government facilities. Vivek
Kundra, Federal Chief Information Officer, is supporting
that effort by establishing a Federal Data Center
Consolidation Initiative to help reduce energy consumption
in over 1,100 Federal data centers. US Federal
data center managers are on a timeline to respond
with their final consolidation plan. This paper analyzes
the implication of these mandates and offers recommendations
for how to improve energy efficiency in
Federal data centers. This paper is written for a US-only
audience.
