Data center energy use continues to grow

"2012, the Global data center will increase energy use by 19%," according to Datacenterhttp://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/4979.html ">dynamics" Data centers are expected to increase energy consumption by 19% over the next 12 months than last year. The average switchboard power in the data center is about 4.05KW, which includes 58% racks for 5KW per machine, 28% for each machine with 5KW to 10KW, and the remainder for each machine that consumes more than 10KW.

Global Data Center power consumption growth rankings

From the figure above, in the next 12 months, the Global data center power consumption growth, the first three were Turkey, Colombia and Brazil, China ranked fourth. With the growth of engineering facilities, according to the survey samples, in 2011-2012 years, in terms of energy demand, China will be more than the current energy demand for an average increase of 46%, the actual project energy consumption growth will reach 500MW, average per machine consumption of 2.75KW.

As energy demand is expected to grow so fast, data center owners and operators are focused on energy consumption and usability issues, the article said. According to the statistical summary, energy consumption and availability both occupy the majority of these people's attention, which is the primary point of their attention. More than 40% of data center jobs believe that growing energy consumption will have a powerful impact on the operation of the data center over the next 12 months.
