Less Space & Noise: Cutting Down on Bells, Whistles, Fans & Extra Square Feet.
AMD Opteron™ processors are at the heart of data centers that help cut down both server footprint and server noise.
Space
Optimization of resources is the mantra in every aspect of the enterprise, especially in IT where budgets seem to shrink every quarter. Optimization of space and cost is exactly what you get with AMD processor-powered servers. The built-in Direct Connect and HyperTransport™ technologies in AMD Opteron processors are designed to increase processing speed and potentially save on power costs. These efficiencies allow for more computational power from fewer servers. Not only does this create efficiencies in power and cooling costs, but in the number of servers taking up space. This lets you fit more into your existing data center without having to expand. Not to mention, your IT staff can be more productive with fewer units to service.
Noise
The efficient power handling in the AMD Opteron processor with AMD PowerNow!™ technology can reduce heat in your data center. A cooler running server can minimize data center noise in two ways; by allowing your server fans to run at reduced speeds and by giving your cooling system less heat to deal with which means less noise from your air conditioner.
