| Summary: | Data centers increasingly constitute a critical backbone of the worldwide information technology (IT) infrastructure, forming the server infrastructure for search engines, mail servers, e-commerce, data warehousing and other cloud computing functions. Thousands of data centers operate across the world occupying various millions of square meters. While such data centers generally target large-scale virtual IT services, the design, construction and operation of data centers (i) depend on cyber-physical infrastructure with major power and cooling requirements, (ii) incur significant energy costs, and (iii) can lead to significant economic and societal impact from the failures of physical subsystems. In fact, power and cooling in a data center cost more than the IT equipment supported. As a result, data centers face an emerging crisis. The SENODs (Sustainable ENergy-Optimized Datacenters) project will rectify that by: (i) using ultimate distributed sensing technologies to provide fine-grained monitoring of power consumption, cooling and data center environmental variables to identify, model, analyze and optimize energy costs; (ii) developing intelligent layout optimization algorithms that offer recommendations regarding placement of new servers so as to minimize local hotspots and improve energy efficiency; (iii) providing support for alerts and notifications of actual or pending failures in cooling and other infrastructure equipment to gracefully shut down some or all of center operations; (iv) online capacity and workload management that allows dynamic reallocation of computing loads driven by energy and cost minimization. |
