Growth in server shipments has continued nonstop for the last 20 years. Datacenter servers are the fastest growing users on the electricity grid and an ever increasing strain on environmental resources. Although we use this power to make good business decisions, most of the computing power is paid for, but never received.
“Servers realize only 10 -15% of their computing capabilities while using 90% of their maximum electrical power”*
Veloxum helps reverse this trend by reducing the number of servers you need to power-on by allowing you to optimize the infrastructure you already own and increase its capacity. After all, the greenest server you ever operate is the one you don't turn on. (All Veloxum optimizations are done using the manufacturer supplied settings, without adding any additional in-band hardware or software.)
A 10% increase in 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.
“Measure and improve performance per watt”
Your CFO will thank you for it.
