NETSCOUT DELIVERS DOUBLE-DIGIT ENERGY SAVINGS FOR DATA CENTRE OBSERVABILITY SOLUTIONS
NETSCOUT has announced how the intentionally efficient design and architecture of its InfiniStreamNG solution also enables incremental advances in product energy efficiency, thus reducing operational costs and contributing to IT infrastructure sustainability.
Data centre energy consumption is escalating at an alarming rate, driven by digital transformation and advancements in artificial intelligence.
According to a recent International Energy Agency( IEA) report, global data centre electricity consumption is projected to more than double by 2030, including US data centres consuming more electricity than for the production of aluminum, steel, cement, chemicals, and all other energy-intensive goods combined.
NETSCOUT’ s nGeniusONE and InfiniStreamNG solutions are purpose-built to deliver comprehensive network visibility and analytics. Unlike multi-appliance architectures that require numerous components for different functionalities, NETSCOUT’ s approach centralises capabilities within the InfiniStreamNG probe, leading to a more streamlined and energy-efficient deployment.
Key benefits of this approach include quantifiable energy and cost reductions, reduced rack space and simplified and intelligent data processing.
“ By applying our deep expertise in hardware technology, we’ ve optimised the InfiniStreamNG platform to reduce complexity, lower energy and operational costs – while delivering the network visibility required to manage today’ s increasingly complex environments,” said Ray Jones, senior director, platform product management at NETSCOUT.
He added:” This capability is critical as organisations face mounting pressure to improve data centre efficiency in response to explosive AI-driven growth.”
Bloom Energy will deploy its fuel cell technology at select Oracle Cloud Infrastructure( OCI) data centres in the US.
To support growing demand for OCI’ s AI and cloud computing services, Bloom Energy will deliver highly reliable and cost-efficient onsite power for an entire data centre within 90 days.
Bloom Energy’ s energy solutions power some of the world’ s most critical digital infrastructure, following agreements with Equinix, American Electric Power( AEP) and Quanta Computing. To date, Bloom Energy has deployed over 400 MW to power data centres worldwide.
“ We continue to see strong global demand for OCI services across our entire data centre portfolio including our large gigawatt AI data centres,” said Mahesh Thiagarajan, Executive Vice President, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.“ Customers expect to run their AI workloads and new AI applications at peak performance. Bloom’ s fuel cell technology will join OCI’ s extensive energy portfolio, further supporting our cutting-edge AI infrastructure with reliable, clean power that can be quickly deployed and easily scaled.”
“ Oracle Cloud Infrastructure requires power solutions engineered to meet the performance and reliability demands of today’ s most advanced AI and compute workloads,” said Aman Joshi, Chief Commercial Officer, Bloom Energy.“ This significant collaboration provides Oracle with ultra-reliable, clean and cost-efficient power that supports its growth strategy with the speed and certainty it needs.”
