Power Management for Storage Systems

The Challenge

Today, energy costs for datacenters are skyrocketing. We're finding that our digital universe is expanding exponentially as new data is continuously created and most of it is being stored online.

As servers become larger and faster, our disks and their capacities are also becoming bigger. Meanwhile, components are getting smaller and faster-creating more IT heat density. As a result, we're seeing a change in the characteristics of the storage data itself and the way it's being stored.
