This document only addresses changes that can be made at the server1 level. Other white papers from The Green Grid will address power, cooling, airflow, consolidation, virtualization and a host of other mechanisms to increase efficiency elsewhere in the data center. Reducing energy use at the point of consumption (the server) provides benefits at all other levels by reducing load on power and cooling facilities which in turn reduces their own energy use.
