Zusammenfassung
Adaptive computing solutions can significantly contribute to saving energy and other resources in
data centers. Examples of such solutions include load and power management of servers, adapting
air conditioning to dynamic loads, and dynamic distribution of computing loads to various data
centers. Several solutions of this kind were developed and their potentials for saving energy and
other resources were calculated in the project Adaptive Computing for Green Data Centers
(AC4DC).
Server virtualization is the fundamental prerequisite for using adaptive computing technologies.
Therefore, this contribution focuses first on the extent to which server virtualization is used in data
centers and calculates both the current figure and the development through 2020. The calculations
are based esp. on market research surveys, surveys of data centers, and a Delphi survey, which
generated data for calculating possible energy savings through the use of adaptive computing
technologies.
