Atlanta's Green Data Center

The Tulix Green Data Center Initiatives
Energy efficiency/green (environmentally sound) considerations: in an effort to promote environmentally sound policies in line with recent policy adopted by the Federal Government, Tulix's ATLDC is able to submit to its customers and prospective customers a Green Initiative Performance Program for their operations. This program addresses the recommendations of the Green Electronics Council and Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. All servers and equipment meet requirements of the 80 + power guidelines. Green Initiatives address the Seven Step program including Consolidation, Power Management, Energy Efficiency, Power Supplies, Internal Barriers, EPA Standards and Environmental Advocacy. They are:
Point 1
    Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate.
  • All of our unused servers are physically removed from our racks.
  • Our DC standardizes on VMware, the virtualization software
  • We combine our own servers wherever feasible.
  • We actively work with clients to encourage their use of virtualization.

Point 2
    Turn on power management
    Our Data Centers use power ware managed distribution units (PDU's) which control power usage on an individual circuit basis.

Point 3
    Upgrade to energy-efficient servers
    Our Data Centers have retired previous generation servers and upgraded to the latest Super Micro technology. This technology includes multi core XEON processors for more efficient information processing.

Point 4
    Use high-efficiency power supplies
    This also speaks to Point 3 as Super Micro power supplies operate at 85% efficiency at low load.

Point 5
    Break down internal barriers
    Each one of our Data Centers is separately metered for cost accountability. Through the PDU's, each circuit is monitored.

Point 6
    Follow the standards
    Our Data Centers follow 80 Plus hardware recommendations as well as The Uptime Institute's Green recommendations. These include moving high voltage distribution panels and transformers on to the Data Center floor as opposed to placing them in a separate electrical room. This provides a far more efficient use of air conditioning and a longer presence of more efficient high voltage feeds.

Point 7
    Advocate for change
    In all that we have listed above, we strongly believe that we are an active advocate for change.
