Detailed explanation-1: -How we do it. On average, a Google data center is twice as energy efficient as a typical enterprise data center. We raise the temperature to 80°F, use outside air for cooling, and build custom servers. We also share detailed performance data to help move the entire industry forward.
Detailed explanation-2: -Switch to variable-speed fans One way to decrease energy usage in the data center is to switch to variable-speed fans. Recent research has found that power consumption can be decreased by 20% through CPU fan speed reduction. As such, organizations should use variable-speed fans to cool data center equipment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Streaming devices are designed to be energy-efficient. A smart TV with built-in streaming will use less energy than a traditional TV paired with a smart home assistant or set-top box (also known as a cable box).
Detailed explanation-4: -Server processors are capping and controlling their power usage, but the amount of memory used in a server is growing and with that growth, more power is consumed by memory. In addition, today’s power supplies are very inefficient and waste power at the wall socket and when converting AC power to DC.
