First it only looks at your servers, it does not ask what kind, rate of virtualization, etc. then a PUE and based in this info they give you your cost and power usage ??? And then if I install the proposed solution : Intel Xeon Processors my cost go down 10-20%. Now lets see who build this thing in the first place. Ahhhh, Intel. Surprise, surprise. Maybe nice to fill in when you have a drink with your mates and have a laugh, but not for any serious indication on where you stand and what you need to do.
