Comments on: Is average utilisation of servers in Data Centers really between 10 and 15% ? http://www.cloudiquity.com/2009/03/is-average-utilisation-of-servers-in-data-centers-really-between-10-and-15/ A blog about Cloud, Grid and HPC technologies Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:46:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andy http://www.cloudiquity.com/2009/03/is-average-utilisation-of-servers-in-data-centers-really-between-10-and-15/comment-page-1/#comment-199 Andy Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:51:35 +0000 http://www.cloudiquity.com/?p=333#comment-199 The challenge to driving up utilization over time for cloud vendors or grid vendors is usage patterns during the day. Many infrastructure or application providers can attest to graphs that show usage that follows the work day. Unless we can figure out how to time shift the computing needs we will continue to have difficulty driving CPU utilization numbers above even 50%.

This does not surprise me at all to be honest as I have seen this many times, especially since RAM became very cheap and caches became stored in memory.
