Reduce data centre costs using virtualisation - Data & Server Racks

Reduce data centre costs using virtualisation - Data & Server Racks Like server room monitoring, server virtualisation can help businesses reduce energy consumption in the data centre.

The use of virtual servers is another option for businesses seeking to minimise power consumption and keep their bills down.

When businesses virtualise their servers, they are able to run many units from a single box, and ensure a greater proportion of the total capacity on each server is utilised.

And a recent study conducted by the Corporate IT Forum found that 60 per cent of companies are now using virtual servers to reduce IT costs.

Dani Briscoe, research services manager at the forum, said the technique is now "established" and businesses are happy with it.

Server room monitoring helps businesses control energy consumption and keep overheads down in the data centre.

Businesses can use such tools to control the data centre environment in terms of temperature, air flow and other factors impacting upon power usage.
