The growth of business enterprises and the emergence of the Internet as a medium for data processing has led to a proliferation of applications that are server-centric. The power dissipation of such servers has a major consequence not only on the costs and environmental concerns of power generation and delivery, but also on their reliability and on the design of cooling and packaging mechanisms for these systems. This paper examines the energy and performance ramifications in the design of disk arrays which consume a major portion of the power in transaction processing environments. Using traces of TPC-C and TPC-H running on commercial servers, the paper conducts in-depth simulations of energy and performance behavior of disk arrays with different RAID configurations.
