Green Computer Rooms and Data Centers

Keyboard Video and Mouse Switch Systems Reduce Power Consumption for Data Center Operators!

The Greening of Data Centers around the world started with the original Keyboard Video Switches (KVS). Multi-Console KVMS systems and simple remote management infrastructure (SRMI) solutions continue to leverage the original Value Propositions and Cost Savings Tron authored in 1994.

Changes in Data Center Power Cost / Consumption

The variables (cost of power & monitor power consumption) changed. Today, power prices have risen 25% to 35% while the power consumption of TFT (flat screen) monitor has dropped from 3.6 kW to 2.88 kW.

Direct & Indirect Data Center Power Savings!

Direct expenses include the actual price and consumption of electricity.

Indirect savings dirived from reductions in Cooling are also calculated annually. Recovery of valuable facility and/or rack space has a greater one time impact when building data centers or allocating portions of the facility as a computer room.

Justifying KVM Switch & RMI Solutions

Calculating the financial benefits of KVM Switch & RMI Solutions requires we look at all five variables above for hard offsets. Improvements in productivity and reduced sick leave (ie: time-off) — considered Soft Offsets — are more evasive.

Our Green Data Center Calculator helps you identify Hard Offsets (direct/indirect) and Soft Offsets.
