CRC will have a significant impact upon data centre users
Power remains a fundamental component of data centre operating costs and with the focus on Climate Change and Environmental issues, Energy costs are becoming an increasingly complex and dynamic set of factors for all of industry.
Looking at the regulatory back-drop; we have witnessed the introduction of the Climate Change Levy, the Climate Change Agreements (CCAs) and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) affecting heavy industry.
Now with the introduction (since April 2010) of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme all major energy consumers are affected, with a significant and disproportionate impact on data centre users.
New data centres with growing IT utilisation rates will register a huge increase in power (carbon) usage and will find themselves heavily penalised (despite IT being an enabling technology delivering efficiencies elsewhere!).
Infinity can help reduce exposure to these new cost factors via our low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) designs which can often pay for the data centre migration simply through the energy savings from 21st century data centre design.
