Energy/carbon management network for IT equipments

Abstract

IT (Information Technology) is known as one of the best solution to slow down the global warming by various industry sectors. IT equipments are responsible of 2% of GHG emission of total. Especially, Concentrate Energy Consuming Facilities such as Data Centers are to blame most as increasing sources of global warming caused by energy consumption by IT network equipments. This paper shows how to manage and control the energy consumed by IT equipments such as switches, routers, storages and servers loaded in a rack type facility. How to collect the energy consumption data from the individual equipment effectively and how to monitor and save the energy in a smart way without interrupting the services by introduction of Energy/Carbon Management Platform are to be explained. Smart Rack, Intelligent PDU (i-PDU), SECMP (Smart Energy/Carbon Management Platform) are introduced in this paper.
