The higher the value turns out to be, the better. [\u2026] The inverse value is known as power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). This figure is generally acknowledged to be the most critical KPI for data centers. [\u2026] The DCiE value of Retarus\u2019 data center amounts to 75% of the total electricity consumed (including office and lobby rooms). Without taking the offices and workspaces into consideration, the figure is 80%, meaning a PUE of 1.25. Comparatively, these values suggest that Retarus is in the upper range as far as the power efficiency of the data center (excluding offices) is concerned, and a lot of the potential for improvement has already been exhausted. [\u2026] This includes, for instance, the optimization of server utilization through virtualization and efficient data storage (utilizing energy-saving applications), procuring efficient IT hardware, using power adaptors with a high degree of efficiency, etc.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very proud of the outcome \u2013 a PUE value of 1.25 is truly impressive for a data center in our bracket,\u201d says Uwe Geuss, Director Operations at Retarus. &nbsp;For the most part, one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funkschau.de\/datacenter-netzwerke\/wie-kuehlung-die-energieeffizienz-verbessern-kann.189839.html\">typically encounters values of around 1.7<\/a> (lower values are better). \u201cThis also clearly shows that not only are the enterprise communication services running in our specialized data center more reliable than those run by companies themselves, but also more environmentally friendly,\u201d adds Geuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we\u2019ve still got some room for improvement, such as updating light sources in the data center and anterooms, plus even more efficient USPs. \u201cIn addition, most potential savings can be achieved through optimizing user behavior and sensitizing employees,\u201d the audit report goes on to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bit more background: More than 60 percent of the energy consumption at the Munich headquarters arises directly from the data center, while an additional twelve percent is attributed to the air-conditioning of the data center. Both the data center and several other air-conditioned rooms are cooled by way of a borehole groundwater cooling system. Retarus sources the rest of the electricity required for the data center from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/company\/corporate-responsibility\/\">100% green power \u2013 already since 2007<\/a>. And without exception, our electricity is drawn from certified hydroelectric power plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At its Munich head office, Retarus recently passed the mandatory DIN EN 16247-1:2012 energy audit with an outstanding result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":8175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3829,3756,3757,3830],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v23.0) -
