Reliable. Consistent. Efficient.
Eliminate server energy waste while maintaining the performance you require with Granola Datacenter
In the land of the datacenter, system performance is king. Since most power management can negatively and unpredictably impact performance, many datacenter hardware and operating system providers disable power management by default, ensuring that the performance offered by their systems is reliable and consistent. Unfortunately, this results in significant energy waste on these servers, many of which are never fully utilized.
Granola Datacenter is different. It offers datacenter operators the ability to specify performance requirements for power management, so you can be confident that you are getting the performance you need while reducing the energy you use by as much as 35%. And with a full return on investment in as little as 3 months, you can also be confident you're making a good investment.

Performance you expect
In the datacenter, one second of lower system performance can mean lower revenue. Though other power management techniques can lower energy consumption, they also can result in an unpredictable impact on performance. This means that it is impossible to know the effect that these techniques will have on a given workload, a fact that results in equipment providers, software compaines, and datacenter operators disabling power management on servers.
The core technology inside of Granola is based on research in power management for supercomputers, systems for which performance is the most important criterion. Granola Datacenter builds on this research to offer administrators the ability to specify their desired level of performance - a service-level agreement (SLA). Granola then operates within this bound to reduce energy waste as much as possible, guaranteeing the level of performance you require. These SLAs, coupled with the scheduling features of the Granola Dash, result in a datacenter that is optimized for its job, no matter what the job may be.
Savings you need
Datacenter power consumption is growing. With a growing number of services moving from desktops onto servers, increased computing density, and the increase in cooling that it requires, many datacenters are running out of power. Even in smaller datacenters, power is one of the largest items on the budget, and budgets are shrinking.
Granola Datacenter can reduce system energy by as much as 35%. On a normal system, that equates to a direct cost savings of around $75 per year. Every watt saved on the system is a watt saved in cooling as well, and in most cases this amounts to a doubling of savings.
Affordability, simplicity, and coverage you want
Granola Datacenter is priced so that a yearly license pays for itself in as little as 3 months. That's a 300% return on investment over a single year. Send us an email for information on how you can start saving today.
Granola Datacenter shares the same ease of installation and management as Granola Enterprise.
