About "DATA CENTER - A LOSING ECONOMIC PROPOSITION" topic:

There is one serious and important issue which have to be addressed.

Energy consumption and cooling requirements by today's data centers.

The data center industry is the fourth largest producer of carbon dioxide emissions, accounting for 3 percent of global pollution, according to the US Department of Energy (DEP). The DEP predicts that if the industry continues at its current pace, 14 new coal plants will need to be built by the year 2012 in order to support that growth.

"We really believe that as the data demands grow and computing power increases, data center infrastructure will have to become more energy efficient otherwise rising energy costs will make even the smallest data center a losing economic proposition."

Moving mature and stable applications and databases off mainframes and onto smaller machines is not a right move and it has not given any good result, but some IT managers are doing this to cut costs. If you are considering moving applications or databases off the mainframe, keep in mind the plight of the fleet manager—degradation in performance can be far more costly to the business in the long run. It is important to consider the value of the business services supported by the applications or databases, and whether that value is increased or decreased by moving to other seemingly less-costly platforms. When you truly understand the business value behind your technology, you'll find that the mainframe is irreplaceable when it comes to certain applications and databases, and you can readily justify its cost. That's where business service management comes in. With an effective BSM approach in place, you can find the right platform for your data center and manage it with a...
