Determine your personal energy consumption

Because of rising energy costs are electricity and rejected heat as a selection criterion for servers has become increasingly important. Intel intended this in the design of the modular server. Even in completition 4 power supplies ranged, to assure the redundat 3+1-electric power supply for all components. And that are anyhow 6 server inclusive redundat network- and storage-infrastructure. A conventional building would be redundant, even in the use of iSCSI at least you require twelve power supplies for servers, four redundant power supplies for the care of two network switches and two power supplies for the storage. Intel offers a own "Power Budget Tool" for the Modular Server. This allow to determine the necessary number of power supplies (two to four) for a correct configuration. The tool calculates both the power consumption in watts and the heat in BTU / hour.
