1. Smart Data Centers

2. The Data Center Challenge
The annual energy costs per square foot of Data Center is approximately 15 – 30 times of the energy of the office buildings which hosts it.
Distributed business units across geographies
Data communications between local branches and regional headquarters are mission critical
Requires extensive supporting equipment to ensure smooth communications.
Many data centers in India are working on 100% backup power (typically electricity produced by diesel generator sets) to satisfy power requirements that exceeds 10 – 20 MW.
Fastest growing energy-use sector in India.

3. Where are the opportunities?
A Data Centre has hundreds of racks and energy savings for each of these racks will benefit both the end user and Data centre operations.
High-tech facilities are experiencing significant growth in India.
Fastest growing energy-use sector.
BEE has initiated “Data Centre Energy Efficiency Design Code ”
Energy benchmarking.

4. Interesting Facts
The energy used by a 10MW data Centre each year is equivalent to the energy consumed by 73,000 typical urban Indian houses.
By 2012 the power costs for the Data Centre equipment will exceed the cost of original capital investment.
By 2020 the carbon footprint of Data Canters will exceed the Airline industry!
