Smart Grid: Opportunities in the Data Center January 22, 2010 Charles O’Donnell, Vice President, Engineering Liebert AC Power Emerson Network Power

Data Center Facts U.S. data centers consume between 20 and 30 billion kWhr per year Data center energy consumption is expected to double every six years Roughly half of the energy used by the data center is actually consumed by IT equipment Loss of power to a critical data center can cost millions of dollars per incident 2
