Are the server power supplies 80 Plus certified?
Precisions
One factor in reducing the hosting footprint is the energy consumption of servers. The constantly evolving labels and certifications facilitate the choice of models of servers. Some equipment has several power sources. Redundant power supply management should also be included in the selection criteria
Use Case
Hosting technical documentation tracks energy consumption and IT equipements certifications
