Energy-Efficient Computing: Techniques for Reducing Power Consumption in Data Centers

Abstract

Data centers are the backbone of modern digital infrastructure, enabling the storage, processing, and distribution of vast amounts of data. However, their operations are highly energy-intensive, contributing to significant power consumption and environmental impact. This paper explores various techniques for reducing power consumption in data centers, focusing on energy-efficient computing strategies, cooling technologies, and hardware innovations. By adopting these techniques, data centers can achieve substantial energy savings, lower operational costs, and contribute to sustainability goals.
