Perhaps you are wondering whether you too can contribute something to more sustainability in the rented data center. In short: Yes! Colocation customers can also help to significantly reduce power consumption in the data center by following a few simple rules.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

  1. Heavy and heavy-load servers should be placed further down near the ventilation exits.<\/li>\n
  2. Unused \"zombie\" servers, which are not actively used, consume a lot of power even though there is no load (approx. 40% of a server running under load). You can turn these off.\n<\/li>\n
  3. Empty height units should be closed with a panel to prevent mixing of the air from the cold and hot aisles. The panels are freely available for you at the respective ScaleUp locations.\n<\/li>\n
  4. Also, neat wiring of the ports on the server will help distribute the cooling air better, so fan fans in the server can run slower. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    In addition to all these measures, it is also worth considering an alternative virtualization solution. Microservice applications run much more resource-efficiently in an efficient cloud environment, also because cloud servers are usually better utilized than the individually operated IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n
