TEXPO

Energy Efficiency Assessment

In today’s world of specialization and complexity, you need a trusted partner to work with you to eliminate risks and drive improved performance. TEXPO Professional Services now fills that role by providing a full range of physical layer services based on Panduit’s Unified Physical Infrastructure SM (UPI) approach. These services help you assess, design, and maintain resilient, sustainable solutions for your physical infrastructure.

Increasing computing needs can lead to unsustainable power consumption and spiralling operating costs. The TEXPO Energy Efficiency Assessment gives you a comprehensive understanding of your data centre’s power use, which can help you reduce your OpEx and CapEx spending. It also promotes green policies and responsible corporate citizenship. This assessment evaluates your facility’s power distribution infrastructure, providing baseline metrics in alignment with government energy efficiency metrics such as Data Centre Infrastructure Efficiency (DCIE) and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). It also provides recommendations for improving energy efficiency, and on-going assessments to continue monitoring your energy efficiency as your facility grows and changes.

Features	Benefits
Professional assessment of the current state and trending of your data centre energy consumption	Provides a baseline of your energy efficiency and power consumption
Baseline energy efficiency metrics	Aligns with U.S. Department of Energy programs for collection and reporting of data centre building energy efficiency performance
Optimization recommendation	Identifies opportunities for improvement, including specific recommendations for improving utilization, cooling optimization, upgrade plans, and other remediation strategies

TEXPO will provide you the following services under this assessment.

Summary of Assessment

• Evaluates facility physical layout and general power and cooling equipment installation
• Collects information about power and cooling infrastructure, including a one-line diagram of the power distribution system, as well as nameplate and operational characteristics of that equipment
• Evaluates existing power metering capabilities, leverages existing systems, and adds instrumentation if needed
• Provides a single snapshot or continuous trending of data centre energy efficiency
• Summarizes findings and observations on energy efficiency, reports metrics, and identifies key problem areas
• Recommends modifications to current operations that improve OpEx and CapEx performance
