HP pushes green storage technology to open world energy-saving door

In accordance with the definition proposed by the World Energy Commission in 1979: to enhance the efficiency of energy resources utilization by taking all measures that are technically feasible, economically reasonable, environmentally and socially acceptable.
Energy-saving is to reduce energy consumption as much as possible, produce products that are the same quantity and quality as they were, or produce products that are more or less equal in quality than the original amount of energy consumed. In other words, energy conservation is a practical, economically feasible, environmentally and socially acceptable method for the efficient use of energy and the efficiency of energy use of equipment or processes.

With the continuous progress of society and the continuous development of science and technology, people are more and more concerned about our survival of the Earth, most countries in the world have fully recognized the importance of the environment for our human development. All countries are taking positive and effective measures to improve the environment and reduce pollution. The most important and urgent issue is energy. To fundamentally solve the energy problem, in addition to the search for new energy, energy conservation is the key and currently the most effective important measures, in recent years, through efforts, people in energy-saving technology research and product development have made great achievements.

"Chinese Users in http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13597.html" > Enterprise it, especially the storage application of energy saving, has been inevitable! "There have been high-level government departments at a major meeting to say so. With the rapid development of our national economy, the rapid growth of all kinds of data in the whole society has caused the enterprise to enlarge the scale of its storage system, the large data centers have been acquiring new storage devices, and the increasing energy consumption of it has aggravated the power tension, so in recent years, the establishment of green new generation Vigorously promote green storage has become a common aspiration of enterprises and data centers, green, by the industry analysts as one of the important features of storage products.

According to the data, in global it total energy consumption, data center energy consumption accounted for 40%, and in the datacenter hardware energy consumption, storage devices accounted for 37% to 40%. Therefore, green storage is not only the key to building a green data center, but also an important part of green it.

The trend of green storage
If the current storage energy consumption is so high that people have to pay attention to it, then it is certain that without innovative green storage technology, future storage system energy consumption will undoubtedly become the enterprise and society can not afford.

First, the explosion of data is a key factor in the continued growth of energy consumption in the storage system. The total number of digital information created, stored and replicated globally reached an astonishing 161 billion GB by 2006, according to data from an internationally renowned data-research agency, and is expected to reach 988 billion GB in 2010, equivalent to 15 million times times the amount of information human history has ever had. It is also predicted that the application of storage devices will increase by one times every 1 August at this rate of growth. Correspondingly, energy consumption will increase by one times over the same period.

More importantly, with the implementation of industry compliance requirements, as well as the improvement of enterprise security awareness, data backup and longer time to save has become an inevitable trend. In addition, in order to provide continuous computing to the business, storage System 24-hour operation is becoming more and more common. This will undoubtedly further enhance the storage system energy consumption, increasing the cost of storage enterprises.

With the inexorable increase of energy consumption and the urgent demand of the whole society for Environmental protection, economy and ecological construction, green storage is not only the general trend, but also the inevitable choice. And the increasing storage energy consumption problem can only be solved effectively through innovative green storage technology.
