Data center efficiency is often thought of in terms only of the facility efficiency, often measured by PUE. While PUE is an important measure that requires attention, focusing too much on it and neglecting a comprehensive approach to efficiency raises TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Covered in the presentation are real world options, including specific examples of actual installations, that lower TCO with a balanced approach to all aspects of data center operations from the facility, to the IT equipment, to how that equipment is used.
