Abstract :
In this paper we present objectives and expected results of the CoolEmAll project that aims at improving energy-efficiency of data centers. To achieve this goal, CoolEmAll works on data center simulation and visualization tools (SVD Toolkit) and models of data center efficiency building blocks (DEBBs) that will be used by the SVD Toolkit to facilitate simulations and ensure their high quality. Using these models and tools data center designers and operators will be able to analyze and optimize both existing and planned data centers. By taking into consideration several important aspect that affect energy efficiency, the project is going to enable analysis of data centers under various conditions including low levels of loads, diverse management methods, specific cooling systems and IT equipment configurations.
