    Sure, here are some ways that Power can help you optimize your infrastructure energy consumption:

    • Power Virtualization: Power virtualization allows you to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single server, which can help to reduce energy consumption.
    • Power Dynamic System Tuning: Power Dynamic System Tuning (DST) is a feature that automatically adjusts the performance and power settings of your servers based on your workload. This can help you to save energy without sacrificing performance.
    • Power Energy Modes: Power Energy Modes allow you to specify the power consumption of your servers. This can help you to save energy when your servers are not in use.
    • Power Cool Logic: Power Cool Logic is a feature that helps to keep your servers cool by adjusting the fan speed and other cooling settings. This can help you to save energy and extend the life of your servers.
    • Power Metrics: Power Metrics provide you with detailed information about the energy consumption of your servers. This information can help you to identify opportunities to save energy.

    In addition to these features, Power also offers a variety of other tools and resources that can help you to optimize your infrastructure energy consumption. For example, IBM offers a free online tool called the Power Energy Optimizer that can help you to assess your current energy consumption and identify potential savings.

    By taking advantage of the features and tools that Power offers, you can significantly reduce the energy consumption of your infrastructure. This can save you money on your energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint, and extend the life of your servers.

    Here are some additional tips for optimizing your infrastructure energy consumption:

    • Right-size your servers: Make sure that you are using servers that are the right size for your workload. Oversized servers will consume more energy than you need.
    • Turn off unused servers: When you are not using a server, turn it off. This will prevent it from consuming energy.
    • Use power management features: Many servers have power management features that can help you to save energy. For example, you can set your servers to enter a low-power state when they are idle.
    • Monitor your energy consumption: Keep track of your energy consumption so that you can identify opportunities to save. There are many tools available that can help you to monitor your energy consumption.

    By following these tips, you can significantly reduce the energy consumption of your infrastructure. This can save you money, reduce your carbon footprint, and extend the life of your servers.

    Hey Falver,

    Wow! Thank you so much for the thorough response. This survey is currently closed for feedback, but the IBM Power Design Team is always looking for opportunities to speak with customers, business partners, and managed service providers to see how we can improve energy efficiency (among other things as well) on Power Servers.

    It seems to me like this subject is of particular interest to you and if you'd like to elaborate more and schedule some time to speak more about your energy efficiency and power knowledge we'd love to as well. 

    If that sounds interesting, fill out the survey in the link below. This is to join our Power Research Program where you can share any feedback to our team as much (or as little) as you would like. It takes about 5 minutes and researchers from our team will be in touch! Let me know if you have any questions or would like additional details.

    Additionally,

    I'd love to know more about yourself! I'm a User Experience (UX) Designer for the Power Design team and what I do is talk to users of IBM products/services and listen to your opinions and frustrations so that I can communicate them to my larger team. This allows us to understand our customers better and implement their feedback into our strategy and design for future IBM offerings .

    If you are comfortable, I'd love to know your job title and how you found out about the information that you just gave. Feel free to to do this on the survey link that I sent in the prior post (if you are worried about personal information) or in this thread. I've pasted it again here for your convenience.
