LeaseWeb Launches Ultra Green Dedicated Servers

AMSTERDAM — Business hosting provider LeaseWeb has tested and implemented an energy-efficient dedicated server environment in collaboration with Dell, Microsoft and data center EvoSwitch.

The dedicated server environment is currently in the beta stage. LeaseWeb clients can try it at a discount.

LeaseWeb’s R&D team has installed the energy-efficient dedicated server environment in a private suite of the green data center EvoSwitch. The implementation was carried out in collaboration with EvoSwitch engineers.

“The dedicated server setup, according to our calculations, could have a Power Usage Effectiveness of 1.1, which is considerably less than the current PUE of 1.5 within the overall data center environment of EvoSwitch,” said Thorsten Einig, product manager at business hosting provider LeaseWeb and member of the R&D team. “A PUE of 1.1 means that the server setup is 90 percent more energy-efficient in its operation than a conventional server setup with ‘standard’ cooling.”

One key basic ingredient for the server setup is a cooling solution that uses Free Cooling (cooling with outside air) and Aisle Containment (separating hot and cold air).

“While these ingredients for cooling at such are nothing new, the design of the total solution is completely different from what is common in the market,” Einig said. “It is not a cooling solution with a traditional design, and it is completely different from the current cooling setup at EvoSwitch or other data centers. Airflows travel differently from what we are used to, and cooling equipment and control systems are specifically coordinated. We have also chosen extremely energy-efficient server equipment that has been specifically programmed and tuned to the cooling system.”

The company is offering a discount while the server is in beta.

“While the solution runs stably within the stable preconditions of data center EvoSwitch, we have now entered a stage in which we want to increase the number of clients in that environment in order to further optimize the energy benefits. It is common knowledge that the benefits increase as the number of users increases. We now need to take that step. We have therefore decided to temporarily offer the servers in this specific environment at reduced prices. This means that clients entering during the beta stage will receive a discount.”
