<div>
first of all reduse physycal servers adopt virtualization,<br />
use most of the physycal server resources... <br />
<br />
can use the best cloud resources as well<br />
<br />
use ssd hdd's <br />
<br />
use latest servers..<br />
<br />
keep monitor the coolig appliances condition, UPS batteries conditions... &nbsp;etc<br />
<br />
all the best

Hi Sajid, As you mentioned.. all these are done. &nbsp;i.e. Adopt virtualization, the cloud soon.<br />
For the last 5 years, this exercise has been going on and now the next level of optimization has been started.<br />
As part of the next level, looking for &quot;What Are the Ways to Reduce Electric Consumption in Data Centers?&quot;<br />
As we know, Data Centers are using Hyper-converged hardware and like VMWARE ESXi Virtualization.

<div>
Turn off unused equipment. <br />
<br />
Consolidate and retire old and lightly used equipment. <br />
<br />
Implement hot aisle and cold aisle datacenter layout.<br />
<br />
Reduce the cooling that you're using. Equipment will run fine at an ambient temperature of 25-28 C, and possibly higher.
</div>


<div>
These are the Best Practices. &nbsp;Which already using.

<div>
Have you shutdown hosts and migrated services to containers to reduce virtual machines, storage and hosts ?
</div>


<div>
Adjust host power profile to energy saver? Available in BIOS and or OS.

<div>
Have you shutdown hosts and migrated services to containers to reduce virtual machines, storage and hosts?<br />
Hi Andrew Hancock, I am looking for the same. Do we have any such automated tools or scripts?<br />
Just list Azure public Cloud. If any Server OS or Desktop OS VM is not in Use in a certain time period, Can we shut down those VMs?<br />
Outside Physical servers, all best practices are implemented by Data Center Engineering Team.<br />
Inside Hypervisor and VM's, I want to do some automation.
</div>


<div>
You have to build the containers, there are no scripts that will do this for you.

<div>
Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings.

What are the ways to Reduce Electric Consumption in Data Centers?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
