Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the energy-saving technical field of servers, storage, and high-performance clusters, in particular to a method for realizing system energy-saving. Background technique

[0002] With the continuous development of the information society, people's demand for information is increasing. As a result, some large data centers and large computer rooms came into being. Because the units that make up the data center——servers and storage devices work continuously for a long time, the power consumption of the computer room is very huge. The power consumed by servers accounts for 40% of the power consumption of data centers, and the power consumption of storage accounts for 37%; and storage-related equipment can consume 1000 watts or more of power. How to effectively realize system energy saving has become a key research item in technology development. Contents of the invention
