2006 was a pivotal year for the data center industry

Fast forward to today

Data Center Science Center models show 80% reduction in

losses over 10 years

Total Annual Energy

Savings = $293,145

What will improve the

performance of data centers by

80% over the next 10 years?


Computing will be an ecosystem of data centers in the cloud

and at the edge

Massive compute and storage

CENTRALIZED CLOUD

Large compute and storage

located closer to the user

REGIONAL EDGEMicro data centers with compute and

storage near to where data is consumed

LOCAL EDGE


It’s important to note, our expectations of performance far

exceed PUE metrics

Introducing EcoStruxure IT, our cloud-based data center

infrastructure management architecture

The first step in performance improvement is to gain visibility

across critical data center domains

Apps, Analytics & Services

across power, building and IT

domains provide data-driven

insights to optimize data center

resiliency and performance


Next, collect data across all of your facilities and staff


Benchmark performance against your own system or those

across the industry
