Server Technologies
Low-power Storages, Cloud Computing
Cloud computing systems require a huge number of storage servers, with growing implications for power bills, carbon emissions and the logistics of data centers. These considerations have motivated researchers to improve the energy efficiency of storage servers. Most servers use a lot of power irrespective of the amount of computing that they are doing, and one important goal is to redesign servers to be power-proportional, meaning that the power consumption is in step with the workload.
