Within modern data centers, virtualization has become the means of choice when it comes tooperating efficient server infrastructures for cloud and enterprise computing. On an individualsystem level, this translates into a massive increase of DRAM deployments per server. Hence theDRAM’s share in system power consumption and heat generation for non‐persistent memory ismuch greater than has been known in the past. Leading‐edge DRAM technology offering lowerenergy consumption and less heat dissipation perGigabyte should deliver significant benefits at the systemand data‐center levels with regards to energyconsumption for the computing system (regarded asprimary energy consumption) and cooling (secondaryenergy consumption). Within this project we haveanalyzed the potential leverage of leading‐edge memorytechnology in terms of the power savings for overallcomplete data center. We have selected two identicalstate of the art server systems with an identical configuration including major components such aspower supply, CPU, fan and Hard Disk Drive (HDD) storage
