Reduce Energy Consumption with Intel® Data Center Manager

Intel® Data Center Manager helps Sinopec Geophysical Research Institute improve data center efficiency and reduce energy consumption in the data center.

Sinopec Geophysical Research Institute ("SGRI") is Sinopec’s research and development (R&D) center for high, new, and core technologies on geophysics. Its main responsibilities are: conducting basic and prospective R&D on key technologies, scientific and technological breakthroughs in oil geophysics for the nation and Sinopec, and providing Sinopec with reliable resource for its sustainable development. Currently, SGRI possesses a wide range of advanced and practical facilities and equipment, including China’s leading and internationally advanced all-digital facilities for geophysical simulation experiments, large-scale high-performance computing, and fully-equipped seismic data processing and interpretation.

Challenges
• Energy consumption management in data centers needs urgent attention. Energy cost is becoming a key running cost for IT departments and one of the top concerns for data center owners. SGRI has been looking for a way to help reduce energy consumption in their data centers.
