Data Center tco evaluations for an asset like a server, with a typical life span of two to three years, is a very different calculation than the long-term critical power requirements of a complete data center with a life span of 10 to 15 years.

Assessing YourEquipment Life
To realize long-term beneWts and cost savings of a tco evaluation and purchase model, data center managers have an opportunity to align their CapEx-centric purchasing team to the OpEx goals of their operational teams.

96.5%a tco evaluation of the OpEx costs of operating a ups over 10 years creates an operational savings of $1.4 million when energy eYciency improves a single percent − from 93 to 94 percent eYciency. With newer ups technologies that oVer up to 96.5 percent eYciency, that savings jumps to almost $3.4 million. Therefore, a one percent gain in energy eYciency matters.

Total cost of ownership (tco), the sum of capital expenditures (CapEx) and operational expenditures (OpEx), is a critical metric to understanding true and long-term costs when designing a new facility or selecting equipment. Yet with the explosion of data center expansion, identifying tco variables when specifying, building and operating a data center may be more elusive, costing companies millions of dollars every year.

EYciency
When running a data center, there are a few things that are just key to the business…reliability, eYciency, supportability…and availability…because your customers require you to be online and working 24/7.
