IT containers & energy efficiency act
By switching to a current container technology, the requirements for a modern and scalable technology can be met with regard to the Energy Efficiency Act. With this technology, data centers with a Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) as a High Performance Computer (HPC) can provide applications in an incredible performance. This new technology allows an extremely large number of applications to be run in a very small space and thus with extremely little energy per application. An initial estimate is that this saving alone can completely supply a major city in Germany with energy.
