Energy Efficiency Considerations in Large Datacenters
1 like56 views
Microsoft operates datacenters globally with over 200 cloud services available in 59 markets and 36 languages. The document discusses Microsoft's datacenter infrastructure, including locations, design approaches, efficiency strategies like modular construction and use of recycled water/outside air for cooling. It also covers metrics like PUE and total cost of ownership considerations for datacenter capacity planning.

- 7. Monolithic design and construction effort Typical large datacenter = 11 football fields 20 to 50 Megawatts Huge $$$ Typical construction costs = $10M to $15M per Megawatt Long lead time 18 to 24 months from design to online

- 25. Strategic Use of New Technologies Drive Higher Efficiency Remove unnecessary components Limit the platform expandability: # Slots, CPU Power Right-size the power supply Optimize the Configuration
- 26. Application manages Data locality Hardware manages Data locality, Transparent to Application
- 28. System bottlenecks are likely to be in I/O subsystem
