データセンタにおける電力測定の必要性とその方法
Herman Chan、Greg More著
もし、突然CIO（最高情報責任者）から電話が入り、データセンタの電力消費量の管理状況を質問されたら、あなたはどう回答しますか？ 通常は、データセンタの管理責任者が電力消費量を気にかけることはありませんが、1)追加電力の供給がしばしば制限される、2)電力コストがデータセンタの稼働コストに占める割合が著しく上昇する、3)会社が環境問題を重視するようになっている、などの問題に直面すれば状況は変わってきます。

LEED Certification:
The overall process of getting an innovation credit for intelligent rack PDUs pitched
A number of residential and commercial buildings, including data centers, are going for LEED certification. But what is LEED certification and what is the process by which a data center designer or owner can receive LEED credit for rack power initiatives? This white paper briefly describes LEED certification and the general process for receiving LEED credits.

Free-Air Cooling Estimated Savings Tool
According to Gartner, energy represents the second highest operating cost in 70% of data center facilities worldwide. Since cooling accounts for a large portion of those energy costs, many companies are exploring alternative methods to reduce reliance on traditional HVAC systems. One alternative is Free-Air Cooling, which uses a combination of a cooling tower outside the building and a heat exchanger inside to produce cooled, “free air.” Once temperatures dip below 55 degrees, Free-Air Cooling can provide efficient, cooled air to the racks. So would Free-Air Cooling work for you? This Web app will help you calculate your costs.
