Course overview

This 2-day instructor-led course on Data Center Energy and Environmental Efficiency is designed to provide state-of-the-art information to students related to concepts on designing, planning, and implementing energy-efficient data center practices. As energy costs are typically the largest expense for a data center, efficiency considerations and metrics are covered in detail, as well as how they relate to the ongoing data center operation and maintenance. This course is 100% lecture.


Prerequisites

  • A good understanding of data center power and cooling systems
  • A basic understanding of energy-related topics, including CO2 emissions and renewable energy

Audience

  • Facility management professionals who want to increase the efficiency of their data center facility
  • IT professionals who want to gain greater insight into how electricity is used in the data center aside from the ITC equipment itself
  • Energy professionals who need to gain familiarity with the nuances of data center power consumption

Ways to save

Course objectives

After completing the course, the student should be able to:
  • Explain the relationship between data processing power and electrical power used to support data processing
  • Identify the major components of energy usage in data center operations
  • Understand how energy costs in data centers are calculated
  • Explain the concept of the PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) metric in data centers and how it is employed for benchmarking energy use
  • Identify major energy saving or energy cost reduction strategies in data center operations
  • Explain how energy saving practices contribute to lower capital investment, reduced operational expense, and smaller environmental impact
