The cost of running a server

It’s useful to know that a server using 400 watts of power would cost about £400 a year in electricity to run. You can use this when justifying the investment in virtual servers. Rather than having, say, six computers each acting as a server, you could have one or two computers running VM Ware, or equivalent, and your eight servers could be virtual. This could save £2,400 a year in electricity and help save the polar bears environment from global warming.
