SERVER POWER AND ENERGY OPTIMIZATION IN DATA CENTERS

This book was written to give engineers, architects, and business decision-makers a rigorous, practical foundation for understanding server power consumption — from the physics of electricity flowing through a power supply unit to the economics of power purchase agreements signed at the executive level.

Each chapter stands alone as a reference, yet together they tell a coherent story: every watt matters, every thermal decision has financial consequences, and the gap between a poorly optimized data center and a best-in-class facility can represent millions of dollars in annual operating costs.

Whether you are designing a hyperscale facility, retrofitting a legacy server room, or optimizing a co-location rack budget, the principles in these pages will serve you.
