Achieve total power savings
ADEPT evaluates your data center's TCO by enabling a comprehensive
vision of costs for selected configurations over a selected time
period. Data center design teams can isolate and compare capital,
operations, maintenance, staff, space, power, cooling, and other
infrastructure costs for customized data center configurations including
configurations that employ virtualization technology.
ADEPT assesses server power and performance using the SPECpower_ssj2008
benchmark standard for selected servers. To ensure that your data
is up to date, ADEPT dynamically refreshes the SPEC data from the
web.
ADEPT enables data center design teams to evaluate phased deployment
strategies that incorporate future performance and efficiency upgrades
as well as changes in the cost of electricity. By calculating the
value and risks of retaining flexibility, ADEPT allows data center
design teams to explore possible futures and identify key assumptions
and challenges before they threaten reliability.
Please call Lumina for a conversation about how ADEPT can help
you evaluate your data center options more comprehensively and comprehensibly.

Data
center energy demands are on the rise, creating serious financial
as well as infrastructural challenges for data center operators.
In 2006, data centers were responsible for a costly 1.5 percent
of total U.S. electricity consumption, and national energy consumption
by data centers is expected to nearly double by 2011.1
For data center operators, this means that many data centers are
reaching the limits of power capacity for which they were originally
designed. In fact, Gartner predicts that 50 percent of data centers
will discover they have insufficient power and cooling capacity
in 2008.2
