Compaq BL10e - HP ProLiant - 512 MB RAM Introduction Manual page 12

As discussed previously in the section entitled "Challenges to the enterprise data center," power and
cooling involves a complex chain of small inter-related gains, from the power of individual
components to the problems of using data center air chillers efficiently (Figure 6).
Figure 6. Incremental efficiency gains in the IT power and cooling chain
The complexity of this power/heat problem led HP to focus on these aspects of an effective thermal
management strategy:
• Accurate measurement of power and cooling resources
• Maximum efficiency
• Real-time analysis and optimization
Table 1 provides some examples of HP technologies that support these design aspects.
