Getting Ahead of the Data Storage Energy Crisis: The Case for MAID
There is a tremendous amount of focus on energy efficiency these days. Some think it’s a nice “green” thing. Others understand the significant financial benefits that can be gained. But for those of us in the storage and networking industry, it’s a lot more urgent than that. We are on the brink of an energy crisis that fundamentally impacts all of our professional lives.

Power-Efficient Storage Systems
Storage systems consume as much as 24 to 40% of total IT power usage and have become a primary target in green IT initiatives. The challenge is how to create a more power-efficient storage infrastructure while dealing with explosive growth in that storage.

The Primary Storage Temptation
As IT staffs get stretched even thinner, a challenge is arising in what to do with primary storage. There is still the need for more and more capacity, there are limited dollars to buy more of it, and there are limited resources to properly manage it.

All MAIDS are not created equal
Archive as a strategy should drive down the cost of storage and it should be a top priority in 2009, as IT budgets get tight. Along with driving down the cost to store data, the ability to drive down the power and cooling costs of that storage should be a critical consideration in any archive strategy.

Storage systems are major offenders when it comes to power consumption in the data center, but in the quest for energy-efficient technology the focus, at least so far, has been primarily on microprocessors and servers. So why has storage flown under the radar? It could be that, aside from reducing raw capacity, the industry has yet to come up with a clear-cut answer to the problem.
