HPE Working on Energy Efficiency for its Products
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Business
HPE company is working to reduce energy consumption by optimizing their products’ performance per watt of electricity.
As part of the effort, HPE recently launched HPE Moonshot, an energy-efficient, integrated server system designed to give companies the right amount of compute for their workloads.
"One of the most significant impacts we can have toward reducing both our footprint, and the footprints of our customers, is by optimizing the energy performance of our products," said Lara Birkes, chief sustainability offficer and vice president of Living Progress at HPE, in a blog post.
Energy efficiency is a growing concern in the tech industry, especially as cloud computing drives the need for more energy-hungry data centers. More and more large data centers run around the clock, constantly using resources.
A recent Department of Energy estimate found data centers consumed enough electricity to power every household in New York City twice over, and that is projected to double in about eight years.
Some U.S. agencies are trying to help curb the problem. In June, the DOE announced $25 million in funding for a new program to promote energy efficiency in data centers.
