Cooling the Data Center: Upgrade the Processor, Keep the Cooling System.
Is installing new air conditioners in your data center the best use of your IT budget? The Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processor is designed with power management technology that runs within your existing power envelope and on a smaller footprint.
The AMD Opteron processor utilizes power management technology like AMD PowerNow!™ which can dynamically monitor and reduce power consumption as needed. The result is a processor that can help lower the thermometer in your data center as well as your cost of operations (TCO).
White Papers and Case Studies
BAA avoided having to expand its current data center or build a new one by standardizing on HP ProLiant DL585 and DL385 Opteron processor-based servers for Microsoft® Windows® Server and other business-critical applications. This strategy also delivered computing, hosting, electrical power, and cooling efficiencies.
Weather.com, with peak loads of 70 million page views per day, replaced its existing servers with half the number of AMD Opteron-based servers and migrated its Oracle weather database. As a result, Weather.com reduced infrastructure costs while improving response times and rising in site Nielsen/Netratings to number nine.
