April 11, 2022, 1:46 a.m. Updated 35 {"title": ["", "Next Generation Integrated Cloud Hosting Environment (NICHE)"], "description": ["", "\nQ1. The project will create a prototype data centre facility to support cloud computing\ninfrastructure which will demonstrate power usage effectiveness (PUE) significantly better\nthan current UK installations and in line with leading practice in the US. The PUE is the\nindustry-standard measure for data centre energy conversion efficiency and is the ratio of the\ntotal power consumed by the facility to the active power consumed by the hosted computing\nequipment (the difference between these two values being the power consumed by the cooling\nequipment, power transformation losses, UPS losses and power factor losses) [Note 1]. A\ntraditionally operated data centre would have a PUE value of between 2 and 3 which\neffectively doubles (or trebles) the amount of energy consumed in providing the primary,\nactive power necessary to run the computing equipment. Although new, state-of-the-art\nfacilities are improving PUE levels to between 1.6 and 1.8, this project aims to take a\n\u201csystems\u201d approach to the reduction in data centre PUE and to create a prototype facility in\nwhich the PUE will be less than 1.4. This development will potentially transform the cost\nbase for adopting a cloud model of IT services provision as typically 60% of the operational\ncosts for data centres are related to energy costs. It is estimated [Intellect Report 2009 \u201cData\nCentres: The Backbone of the UK Economy\u201d] that the demand for servers will grow at a rate\nof 18% per annum through to 2020 and that the potential saving in the carbon footprint of data\ncentres would be 7Gt through the systematic improvement in the efficiency of energy\nutilisation. The potential savings for the proposed 1.5MW capacity data centre facility in\nreducing the PUE from 1.6 to 1.2 equate to 6million kilowatt hours, a reduction in CO2 of\n3,000 tonnes and a financial saving of £0.5m. To date, much of the development work\nundertaken to create \u201cgreener digital assets\u201d has been carried out by technology vendors who\nhave worked in isolation in creating separate \u201csolutions\u201d for data centre operators. This will\nbe the first major integrated development project carried out by a UK data centre operator.\nCloud computing changes the focus of cost-of-ownership to a systems perspective in which\nthe integration of consumption-based computing resources, the heat transfer process and the\nfacility control and monitoring systems need to be synchronised and optimised. The project\nhas the potential to make a significant and widespread impact on the carbon footprint of ICT\ninfrastructure as the output from the work will effectively be made available to a whole range\nof businesses who increasingly utilise ICT but who individually would not have the resources\nto significantly improve the energy efficiency of their equipment hosting. Data centres are\nresponsible for around 3.3% of UK energy consumption and a development which aims to\nreduce the carbon footprint by 30% has the potential for transformational supply chain impact.\n\n"], "extra_text": ["", "\n\n\n\n"], "status": ["", "Closed"]}
