HEWLETT Packard and Barclays have signed a letter of intent to introduce HP technology that
is expected to significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with
Barclays new major data centre in Gloucester , United Kingdom .

The HP’s dynamic smart cooling technology was part of a package of energy saving measures
that would allow Barclays to save up to 13.4 percent of total energy used for its data
centre. These measures will reduce its carbon footprint by approximately 7,470 metric tones
of carbon dioxide per year, and as a result of growing demand for technology, energy costs
associated with data centres were rising rapidly.

Many centres are running close to the limit of their air conditioning systems and with their
increasing need for power, data centres are becoming large contributors to the carbon
footprint of many companies. The HP dynamic Smart Cooling technology can actively manage a
data centre’s air conditioned environment to deliver the right amount of cooling where it
was needed most.

The energy provisioning system uses advanced control software fed by continuous, real time
air temperature measurements from a network of sensors throughout a data centre which
continuously monitors and adjusts the air handlers to modulate cooling energy based on
demand from the servers and storage devices.
