1. Decrease Power Consumption – designing greater efficiency throughout the rack to optimize the balance between performance and efficiency. 2. Improve HVAC Efficiency – leveraging best practices in design and application of HVAC in the Data Center to achieve greater efficiency. 3. Lower Deployment & Management Overhead – by customizing the service and support model for DCS deployments, businesses incur expenses only as necessary. 4. Lower Network Infrastructure Cost – reducing the physical requirements and thus, the footprint of unnecessary networking equipment. 5. Eliminate “Feature Tax” – driving down the operating and acquisition costs of the hardware by eliminating components your application doesn’t require.
