Financial institutions (FIs) face unprecedented challenges. With increasing consumer expectations and megatrends such as mobile banking, alternative lenders, and cloud computing, banks are under intense pressure. They need to innovate faster, offer new services, and deploy new applications to serve their customers better. Despite these imperatives, data center growth rates have become unsustainable. The need for technology innovation has run up against equally pressing requirements to meet sustainability goals.
These challenges demand an all-of-the-above approach. This paper will discuss two important aspects of the sustainability puzzle—improving server efficiency and data center power usage effectiveness (PUE).1 The paper will also explain how data center operators can improve throughput, density, and efficiency using HPE Apollo Gen10 Plus systems powered by the latest AMD EPYC™ processors. Finally, it will outline the benefits of Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) technology and why it is a potential game changer for reducing power and cooling requirements and addressing sustainability.
