U.S Department of Energy Report
Potential Benefits of Improved Data Center Energy Efficiency
• Save 20 billion kWh per year by 2015
– Worth $2 billion, ≈ annual electricity use in 1.8 million American homes
• Potentially defer need to build 2,300 MW of new generating capacity
– And avoid 3.4 million metric tons of carbon emissions (like taking 675,000 cars off the road)
• Extend life and capacity of existing data center infrastructures

Five Bold Predictions from DCI Trends Favoring Container Adoption
• By 2015, the talent pool of qualified senior level technical and management
data center professionals will shrink by 45%
• By 2010, more than half of all data centers will have to relocate to new facilities or outsource some applications By 2010, nearly 70% of all data centers will utilize some form of grid
•
computing or other virtual processing
• Over the next five years, power failures and limits on power availability will halt data center operations at more than 90% of all companies
Within the next five years, one out of every four data centers will experience a business disruption enough to affect the entire company’s ability to continue business-as-usual

Improving Data Center Efficiency
4 technology drivers for containers
1. Optimize Cooling
• Isolate hot / cold air • Use high Delta T • Minimize air movement
2. Optimize the Power Chain
• High Voltage cabinet feeds • Minimize power conversions • Use high efficiency power supplies • DC Power distribution
3.
Deploy Higher Density
• Less air movement • Short power runs
4.
Virtualize on Low Power Processors
• Exploit lower power silicon • Increase utilization

Why FOREST Container?
• Traditional data center deployments require:
– $$Capital + planning + designing + building 4+ years time
• Traditional data centers struggle to deploy density
– Density = Efficiency
• FOREST containers enable:
– – – – – – Improved TCO lower capital/operating costs; > productivity Rapid, ease of deployment weeks vs. years means quicker ROI Deployment granularity eliminates over-provisioning Higher IT density and energy efficiency Less expensive power and cooling distribution schemes Simplified tech refreshes
