I think GreenCD is talking about solution for Production houses / distributors / Retailers.

Not something like “ragaa / musicindiaonline” online music store.

I hope i am talking sense here.

PowerNap for Data Centers Can Save Energy

Putting idle servers to sleep when they’re not in use is part of University of Michigan researchers’ plan to save up to 75 percent of the energy that power-hungry computer data centers consume…. Thomas Wenisch, … and students David Meisner and Brian Gold will present … on March 10 at the International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems in Washington, D.C.”Thomas Wenisc – Univ of Michigan h_Small.jpg

“PowerNap, the plan to put idle servers to sleep, and RAILS, a more efficient power supplying technique. (RAILS stands for Redundant Array for Inexpensive Load Sharing.)”

“Data centers waste most of the energy they draw. The facilities are inefficient because they must be ready for peak processing demands … typical industrial data center, the average utilization is 20 to 30 percent.”

Measuring data center efficiency easier said than done

Containing the cost of powering the data center is one of the chief priorities for many IT and facilities professionals. But determining whether a data center is a paragon of green virtue or an unrepentant gas guzzler is trickier than it might seem at first glance.

That’s why the Green Grid, a nonprofit trade group led by IT vendors, devised Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), which compares the total power used in a facility with the power devoted specifically to IT equipment. But as with almost any new standard, there is confusion within the industry about how to measure PUE and in what context it is useful.

PUE measures the number of watts needed power and cool IT gear, taking into account all power dedicated solely to the data center, an important distinction in mixed-use buildings that house both IT equipment and office space.
