Cool IT 1 Dave Kings - Deputy Communications and Systems Manager Alex Gwinn - IT Training Supervisor and Staff Governor – Business Support What’s preventing you from greening your data centre?

Cool IT 2 Introduction Air Conditioning (AC) data centre cooling costs of near £10,000 a year AC created 62,617kg of CO2 per year years or less payback

Cool IT Greening our data centre

Cool IT

Cool IT So what did we do? Evaporative cooling claims of up to 90% greater efficiency Energy required to run the evap coolers offset by photovoltaic cells

Cool IT Evaporative cooler Photovoltaic Cells

Cool IT Regional PoP sideways… Please …

Cool IT and afterwards

Cool IT This is where it gets interesting. Are FE Colleges at a point where they can monitor energy consumption. We are struggling… Evaporative cooling doesn’t work well in humid conditions (surprising considering they have earned the nickname of swamp coolers) so don’t throw out your old A/C If space is an issue before undertaking a retro fit of a system like ours, it gets worse after install! Key points

Cool IT The Story So Far… A good system is needed to monitor energy consumption PV cells are producing enough energy to power the evap cooling system

Cool IT 11 Final Thoughts… 1. You can cool your data centre environmentally 2. IT has a huge part to play in leading in sustainability 3. Estates, IT and Senior Management must all work together to ensure success
