Small Data Centers
Small Data Centers
Energy efficiency efforts and attention for data centers have historically focused on larger data centers. Despite their comparatively small size, small data centers (defined as server closets, rooms, and localized data centers under 5,000 square feet of computer floor) have significant energy savings potential. Small data centers house more than half of all servers across the United States, but face barriers to achieving energy savings that larger data centers do not. They often lack the resources to assess, identify, and implement energy efficiency strategies. Additionally, while many mid-tier and enterprise-class data centers owned by larger corporations consider energy efficiency and the reduction of operating costs as a strategic business goal, small data centers often do not share this motivation given their scale. This all adds up to a huge opportunity for reducing energy demand in data centers across the nation.
In an effort to help small data centers realize untapped energy savings, the Center of Expertise has developed resources specifically designed to help small data centers overcome the unique challenges they face. These resources evaluate the institutional, structural, and financial barriers facing small data centers and identify readily deployable, high-win strategies that can deliver robust energy savings.

Air Management Estimator The Data Center Air Management Estimator is a simplified version of the Air Management Tool that uses the same engine. The input options in this tool have been reduced in favor of increased clarity.
Building the Business Case for Energy Efficiency in Your Data Center The energy intensity of data centers means that energy efficiency improvements have the potential to deliver substantial energy (and monetary) savings to an organization. There are dynamics unique to data centers that create a set of underlying drivers, stakeholders, and barriers to data center energy efficiency projects that are distinct from energy efficiency projects generally. This resource is designed to help project champions identify underlying drivers for data center energy efficiency, engage and win over key stakeholders, and overcome barriers as they build the business case for driving improvements in their data center.
Small Data Centers, Big Energy Savings (Report) The purpose of this brief guide is to present opportunities for small data center owners and operators that generally make sense and do not need expensive assessment and analysis to justify. Recommendations presented in this report range from very simple measures that require no capital investment and little ongoing effort to those that do need some upfront funds and time to implement.
Demonstration: Portable Air Management Measurement Tools This report focuses on improving air management in small data centers due to the great potential for energy savings across the data center industry. To be able to implement air management, key environmental parameters such as IT equipment intake temperatures need to be monitored. This demonstration involves two inexpensive, portable measurement tools for assessing air management in small data centers on a limited, temporary basis. Access to simple, inexpensive toolds for implementing and tracking air management is imperative in such environments. Besides evaluating the accuracy of the temperature measurements, this report also includes an in-depth evaluation of the ease of use of the tools.
Small Data Centers, Large Energy Savings: An Introduction for Owners and Operators (Presentation) Slides from Steve Greenberg's webinar on Saving Energy in Your Small Data Centers. Recommendations presented range from very simple measures that require no capital investment and little ongoing effort to those that do need some upfront funds and time to implement. The range of opportunities includes IT equipment, power, and cooling.
