Summary:
Data centre efficiency is something that all data centre managers strive for, whether it's reducing the overall cost of the centre or simply ensuring that the servers are working economically. In this time of potential recovery, businesses are continuing to cut costs in all departments and the data centre is no different. Can virtualisation save money on servers and therefore space and air conditioning? Will new technologies coming on to the market help solve issues around airflow and humidity
