Why power and cool data that you don’t need?

Powering and cooling IT equipment has an increasing drain on data center resources. According to Gartner, storage accounts for 37% of the data center's overall power consumption. With enterprise storage growing at the rate of over 50% per year to match the data growth, IT energy costs are skyrocketing. Gartner states that energy costs will emerge as the second-highest operating cost in 70% of data center facilities in 2009. In comparison, IDC estimate that storage power costs will reach over  $2B in 2009. The need to control both the data growth and storage power costs is an increasing pressure for IT-managers. Thankfully, controlling data growth can effectively help IT curb storage power costs.

Actively managing the data on your storage devices will help curb escalating data growth and upwards spiralling energy costs. Designing policies using Storage Quotas and File Blocking Quotas allows you to:
• control usage
• get growth rates under control,
• establish awareness among users about what they save

These straightforward policies require minimum administration yet achieve amazing results, dramatically cutting data centre energy consumption. Why power and cool data that you don’t need?
