With the adoption of virtualization many organization are experiencing the shrinking Data Center Syndrome. Put simply they are now cooling rooms that are too large for the equipment being housed in them.
As cooling accounts for approximately 37 percent or more of electricity usage within a data center having a remedy represents a significant opportunity to reduce IT energy costs.
Here are 5 Strategies for decreasing cooling costs.

- Monitoring the environment and automatically adjust the CRAC units.
- Ensure efficient return of hot air to HVAC systems.
