April 2008 - Is your data centre up to speed?
Data centres are set to come under unprecedented scrutiny, as
governmental and non-governmental bodies seek to contain and reduce the
IT industry’s prodigious appetite for electrical power. A strong
catalyst has been last year’s report to US Congress by the US
Environmental Protection Agency. This revealed that in 2006, North
American data centres consumed about 60bn kilowatt-hours, roughly 1.5
per cent of the country’s total consumption of electricity. The report
went on to say that existing technologies and strategies could cut
typical server energy use by 25 per cent and that new technologies
could reduce the burden even further.

March 2008 - Operational issues have datacentres at breaking point
Research by Global DataCenter Management (GDCM) has concluded that
after years of uncontrolled growth, many datacentres face a crisis as
they run into space and power constraints.
The survey of 301 senior IT influencers and decision makers, conducted
by Quocirca, found that even though remedies to the problems exist,
current typical business practices concerning datacentres do not
encourage the prioritisation of power reduction within one of the most
power hungry areas of a business. It also warned that lack of awareness
of the key datacentre issues may result in firms not being able to
deploy the IT resources required to support business growth.

March 2008 - Data centre managers in the dark over power consumption
A significant number of data centre managers are unaware of what assets
they have to manage in relation to their consumption, a Quocirca survey
has found. Over half (55 per cent) of data centre managers are not
aware of their monthly power bill costs, according to a new survey
released today. And more than a third (35 per cent) of companies that
have a carbon footprint reduction policy do not pass it onto IT as a
formal objective, according the research published by Global DataCenter
Management (GDCM) and carried out by analyst firm, Quocirca.

March 2008 - Analyst uncovers datacentre chaos
Today's datacentres are in a state of chaos according to new research from analyst firm Quocirca.
According to a survey of senior IT professionals revealed that 28 per
cent could not say how many servers they were running; 30 per cent had
no idea how many devices were connected to their networks. Nearly one
in five (19 per cent) of those surveyed could identify which room
equipment was located – but not its whereabouts in the room.

March 2008 - IT chiefs need more incentive to go green
There needs to be greater incentives for tech departments to become
greener by reducing their overall energy consumption and carbon
footprint, according to Dennis Szubert, principle analyst at Quocirca.
Szubert feels datacentre managers would take more responsibility if
they were given more information about what their hardware consumes.
Speaking to ZDNet.co.uk's sister site, silicon.com, Szubert said:
"There's a lack of information — [IT managers] don't know how much
power they're using and there's a lack of incentive for them to save
power." He added: "The carbon footprint of IT is the same as the
airline industry. And yet the way IT is managed doesn't really help in
cutting the power consumption."
Szubert argued datacentre managers would be more inclined to improve
efficiency if they are the ones who have to pay the bills. But Quocirca
research found less than one in five IT decision makers have
responsibility for the electricity bill, with 54 percent never made
aware of it.

March 2008 - AOL - Corporate Boards Failing to Deliver on Promises of Green IT, GDCM and Quocirca Reveals
According to research announced today by Global DataCenter Management
(GDCM) and Quocirca, organisations in Europe and the US are failing to
meet green objectives due to an apparent break-down in communications
between the corporate board and IT management level.
Of those organisations surveyed, more than a third (35 per cent) of
companies that have a carbon footprint reduction policy do not pass it
onto IT as a formal objective. In fact, 55 per cent of data centre
managers are not even aware of their monthly power bill costs despite
having the ability to make these savings at a data centre level. With
the data centre as one of the most power hungry area of a business,
unless organisations accurately manage their power consumption at this
level, they cannot claim to be truly green.

March 2008 - Enhanced version of nlyte Workflow system released
Global DataCenter Management (GDCM), a provider of data centre
software, has released nlyte Workflow version 2.1, an enhanced and
upgraded version of the nlyte Workflow system v1.1, to help data
centres overcome problems related to management of their physical
capacities.
According to GDCM, staff at most data centres find it difficult to cope
with and manage IT changes, overheating, power costs and usage levels.
They also have problems maintaining the information necessary to
predict the physical impact of implementations, consolidations and the
retirement of IT assets.
Nlyte attempts to address the issue and helps data centres eliminate
problems related to the management of their physical capacities,
delaying capital expenses. It facilitates a reduction in the
operational overheads that include power, cooling, space and human
capital.
