Designing a LEED Silver Certified, State-of-the-Art Data Center
Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 11:00am PST 1:00pm CST 2:00pm EST
Become an insider on Emerson’s soon-to-open 35,000-square-foot, energy optimized data center project. Emerson Network Power evangelizes best practices in data centers, and when it was called on by corporate parent Emerson to help design and equip a showcase data center that would accommodate the company’s 100-facility consolidation project, Emerson Network Power got the chance to practice what it preaches. This Webcast will detail the strategies the company employed to achieve efficiency, scalability and availability, including:
• Energy-saving strategies predicted to provide an energy savings of 30 percent compared to a traditional data center
• An AC power infrastructure that uses 240V distribution and can allow the facility capacity to triple
• High-density precision cooling design capable of cooling capacities upwards of 300 W per square foot, while meeting LEED’s refrigeration and energy efficiency requirements
