Sun's director of sustainable computing recommends that data centre managers should shut down all servers if they are unsure of the function they serve. It has been found that idle servers use nearly as much power as if they were active; so leaving them switched on is a huge waste of power.
Another way of saving power and cooling costs is to turn the temperature up a little—raising the thermostat by just one degree can save 4% on cooling energy.
