Energy saving strategies applied to a data center in Japan

Overview:

The case study findings encompass short and long-term initiatives with measurable potential to reduce operational expenditure (OPEX) and improve overall energy performance.

Organization profile:

Average monthly energy usage: ~3GWh

Annual electricity bill: ~$3.8M

Size: Over 300 customers hosted at single data center

Location: Tokyo, Japan

Method and results:

• AI-based energy performance diagnostic (Power Usage Effectiveness and daily load concentration, high density rack analysis, customer segmentation and rack usage intensity analysis)

• Multi-factor improvement plan design (improved airflow, temperature control, idle rack optimization)

• Ultra fast ROI (<6 months)
