Despite
huge amounts of capital tied up in data centers, significant inefficiencies still
exist. With average data center cost now threatening
to crowd out other technology investment, the matter has become a board level
concern. From 2000 to 2006 the energy consumed by data centers
doubled and this year expected to consume as much
energy as 10 new major power plants.
A report by McKinsey and Company states that by
improving the efficiency of existing data centers and making substantive changes
in how they manage their data center portfolio, make the most
significant gains in performance and cost savings.

Cooling uses 30 percent of the energy used by data centers. Our unique system provides high output energy, while lowering cooling energy
requirements for data centers by reducing ambient temperatures outside.
