could be a lot. could be nothing. ask IR (or spend some time researching), and let us know.

cb> slide 15 to me, is one of the 'senseless graphics'.

maybe it played better in the room. ask IR (or spend some time researching), and let us know.

cb> do we have any idea what it means in savings as compared to the total power usage of the plant?

probably. ask IR (or spend some time researching), and let us know.

cb> do we reduce the server power consumption?

perhaps. ask IR (or spend some time researching), and let us know.

cb> does it really affect the level of cooling needed?

possibly. ask IR (or spend some time researching), and let us know.

get the idea?

thanks,
