ARTICLE - Lower your network costs!
It's a question so universal that virtually every corporate IT department can relate to it: How can my organization cut network costs while improving performance? Well, Direct IT has teamed up with HP ProCurve and are offering a FREE NETWORK AUDIT to help you answer this question!

Direct IT will assess your network, calculate the current power use per quarter, and then show how much a new ProCurve network would cost to power per quarter. You can find an example case below:

Procurve 2524
Electrical characteristics

Maximum BTUs
123 BTU/hr (130 kJ/hr)
Voltage
100–127 VAC/200–240 VAC
Current
2.4 A/1.2 A
Power consumption
36 W
Frequency
50/60 Hz

Energy costs per 2524 switch are £35.77 per month assuming 9p per kWh and running for 720 hours per month.

  

Procurve 2510/24
Electrical characteristics

Maximum heat dissipation
68. BTU/hr (71.74 kJ/hr)
Voltage
100-127 / 200-240 VAC
Current
0.75 / 0.4 A
Power consumption
20 W
Frequency
50 / 60 Hz

Energy cost per 2501 switch is £11.22 per month assuming 9p per kWh and running for 720 hours per month.

Note the energy savings in the 2510 are because they have taken the fan out.
 
The 2510 switch will provide a saving per switch per month of £24.55 on energy costs.

Over 700 switches the monthly savings are £17,185 in energy costs across their infrastructure per month.

£206,220 savings per annum
