Gartner Power Usage Report
1Electrical Requirements for Blade Servers. Written by Jane Wright (G00120690) released April 24, 2004. Available from Gartner Research.2Comparison was done on similar dual 3.2Ghz servers, with 4GB memory, Fibre connectivity, and dual ethernet switching.
Gartner’s Electrical Requirement Study1 compares similar dual processor blade and rack server configurations2
For customers that adopt BladeCenter, 3 different forms of savings► Raw electricity cost savings – less money to your utility company
• HS20 requires 31-36% less watts for 36 dual processor Xeon blades than HP BL20p G2► Reduced cooling costs – less cost to run your AC units at max
• HP BL20p G2 emits 57% more heat than BladeCenter HS20► Reduced infrastructure build out costs in the data center – the ability to get more
processing power in your current thermal or power envelop
