Why Low Power Servers?

Being Taxed on Power Inefficiencies

Source: James Hamilton, Uptime Institute, AppliedMicro

Power 37%

Others 19%

Servers 44%

Resultant of Large Compute Intensive Cores

Large Power Penalty

Cost of Power = Cost of Server HW

Right-sized solution generates significant TCO savings over life of Datacenter
