数据中心效率调查
ServerLIFT® Corporation conducted an anonymous survey at a large technology trade show to determine data center efficiency specific to equipment handling practices.
要求受访者填写调查表，其中包括与数据中心的日常运营相关的六个问题。所有调查信息都是匿名的，以鼓励参与者诚实并最大程度地减少偏见。
趋势：
The data indicated that using ServerLIFT® products was far more efficient method of handling IT equipment than using generic warehouse lifts; translating into significant cost savings for data centers. For the purpose of this survey, data center efficiency was defined as the number of man-hours required to install a server in a rack. Data centers using generic warehouse lifts are losing approximately 1 man-hour per equipment move, resulting in higher operating costs. Results are illustrated in the graphs below¹.

¹ Savings were calculated strictly from the results of the survey and based solely on estimated lost man – hours. Other differentiators such as ease of use, risk reduction, suitability for the task and improved handling safety were not evaluated as part of these results. A VMWare survey of customers’ operational efficiency citing the company’s internal cost calculations specified the fully-burdened cost of system administrators to be $75 per hour. This number was used to project the cost savings achievable with a ServerLIFT®.
