5 Green Computing Tips

[rag4k]

We are talking about data centers, not individual PC's... DC-based power distribution systems can reduce the total system energy use in a data center by 5 to 7 percent compared to the most efficient AC systems and by up to 28 percent compared to typical AC distribution systems. DC distribution systems

also reduce cooling loads and have the potential to improve

reliability by reducing the number of possible failure points. It's a no brainer.

Need to add another one... Get off AC power and embrace DC! You'd be surprised how many boxes in your data center can be converted from AC to DC power. You're savings will be 10-20%!

What do you think a power supply unit (PSU) is. It takes the main power supply from your powerpoint and converts it to DC, you cant run computer parts on AC.
