The growth in server shipments has continued unabated for the last 20 years. Moore’s law has held true, with server performance doubling every 18 months, while maintaining the same amount of electrical power used. But configuration complexities have robbed the servers of delivering on this performance curve. Complex and performance hungry applications are being starved and unable to access the inherent power of the servers due to misconfigurations and untuned components.
“Lack of optimization results in as much as an 80% loss of performance”
In order to make up for this lost performance, more and more servers are installed, with the result that datacenters are consuming an unprecedented amount of power. This density of power consumption has caught the attention of several government agencies. In 2008, the Environment Protection Agency created the Energy Star initiative for servers and on May 15, 2009 the Tier 1 specification was released.

But what if you could reduce your carbon footprint while improving performance? Sound too good to be true? Not if you tune your servers and clients with iPTE. Think about it this way. If your car is running rough and only achieving 20% of its potential MPG you would have it tuned, with a computer. Our computer tunes servers and clients. And just like your car after it is tuned, you get more performance and a higher MPG.
We call this GREEN PERFORMANCE.
Think about this: 10% more datacenter efficiency would reduce carbon emissions equivalent to the elimination of 753,820* cars. This efficiency would also save companies an estimated USD $6.2B in yearly capital and operational expense.

To request a report showing actual performance results for customers who have used iPTE to improve the capacity of their existing server, while using the same amount of electricity fill out the form below:
The growth in server shipments has continued without stop for the last 20 years. Our need for ever increasing computing power has put a strain on corporate, environmental and personal resources. Although we use this power to distill the wide variety of data needed to make good business decisions, most of the computing power is paid for, but never received. And all of the electrical power used to run the servers, light and cool the datacenters, and power the networks is used, regardless of actual performance output. Datacenter servers are the fastest growing users on the electricity grid.
“Servers realize only 10 -15% of their computing capabilities while using 90% of their maximum electrical power”*
10% more datacenter efficiency would reduce carbon emissions equivalent to the elimination of 753,820* cars. This efficiency would also save companies an estimated USD $12.4B in annual capital and operational expense.
Veloxum’s iPTE helps reduce your hardware needs by allowing you to optimize the infrastructure you already own. All this is done using the manufacturer supplied settings, without adding any additional in-band hardware or software. We call this giving your systems a “Second Wind”, and it’s guaranteed.
“We measure and improve server capacity”
