class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To extend the viability of mature data centers, Intel IT developed a methodology for measuring, monitoring, and managing energy consumption using a synergistic combination of two improvement methodologies. Lean Six Sigma* (LSS), our primary methodology, helped us focus on the issues with the greatest impact, while Systemic Innovation for Teams (SIfT) provided a process for solution identification.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u201cWe studied power usage at one mature data center. The combination of LSS and SIfT in Phase 1 of our project helped us pinpoint opportunities for significant, measurable energy reductions in the areas of server load and cooling load.\u201d<\/p><p>\u2022 Achieved a 7 percent server load reduction using the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to measure IT load.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u2022 Identified a further 3 percent server load reduction using Intel\u00ae Intelligent Power Node Manager and Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) technology to match server power to work-week usage.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u2022 Used our air optimization strategy to shut down three computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units\u2014achieving the equivalent of an 8-percent reduction in total cooling load.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u2022 Identified a 4-percent reduction in total cooling load by raising the temperature of
