I was wondering if anyone with some experience running facilities, etc. is familiar with how much power a 750kVa Liebert UPS will use when it is under minimal load. I am aware that power is needed for keeping the batteries charged, keeping the power levels consistent, etc. but what is that base amount? Then, at around full load, what efficiency levels can I expect?
View 11 RepliesCurrently we are offering a base server that eats about .7 amps during normal usage as our most energy efficient dedicated product...
I was hoping we could start a discussion on energy efficient tech that we could possibly implement in our servers... not only save the environment in some small way, but allow us to put more servers on a 20 amp circuit and make us all more profitable.
Anyone using flash based drives? I'd assume, due to lack of moving parts these drives would be more energy efficient?
Are there any load based blowers and such? Cooling equipment that wouldn't be running 24/7 unless needed?
