Data center asset planning - Regaining control of the data center

After years of uncontrolled growth, many data centers face a crisis as they run into space and power constraints. While remedies exist, present business practices do not encourage the prioritisation of power reduction within one of the most power hungry areas of a business—the data center

Operational issues have data centers at a breaking point
The server sprawl that has been taking place for years is still continuing in a lot of companies, putting pressure on data center managers who have to manage increasing numbers of servers with restricted budgets; the IT budgets of 87% of respondents are not growing in real terms.
Data center management is suffering
Under these pressures, data center management is not as tight as it could be; 28% do not know the exact number of servers they have and 22% said it could take up to a day to find a server that had gone down, and another 20% taking longer than a day. In addition, space and power constraints are beginning to hit; 11% of data centers will run out of space this year, while 14% have already hit a power supply limit.
Organizational and human issues contribute to the problem
Human factors, such as a lack of communication between different groups, contribute to the crisis. Groups such as facilities, commissioning, infrastructure etc. need to work together if the organization is going to achieve common goals such as saving power. Organizational barriers also exist—less than one in five data center decision makers have financial responsibility for data center power consumption, and 55% are not even aware of what the power cost are.

The information presented in this report by Quocira Research was derived from 301 interviews with senior IT influencers and decision makers completed in November and December 2007 in the US, the UK and other European countries. Respondents were from a mixture of large multinationals and medium to large national organizations, from across a broad cross section of industry sectors.
