It was a cold and rainy weekend here, so I did some power measurements of the three types of storage servers we got over a few years of running Ceph in production, and compared the results: https://cloudblog.switch.ch/2017/11/06/ceph-storage-server-power-usage/ The last paragraph contains a challenge to developers: Can we save more power in "cold storage" applications by turning off idle disks? Crazy idea, or did anyone already try this? -- Simon. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
