Green Data Center at Fast Lane

Benefit from our experience! We have implemented a virtualized, energy-efficient data center solution for our own labs:

• Reduction of 100 servers by server consolidation and VMware virtualization technologies; optimized resource utilization
• Further reduction of 100 servers with Cisco Nexus 5000, Nexus 1000V and NetApp technologies in 2009
• 40 % power reduction by comprehensive power management – equipment which is not used is automatically switched off
• "Nature Climate" concept: air conditioning reduction of 35% by delivery of cold air from outside; data center lost heat is used for heating
