From Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power

The direct and indirect costs of fossil fuel usage are now a topic of great public interest. In many industries, this is resulting in a push to deliver higher-efficiency systems. For example, this issue is now directly impacting large data centers, where gains of one percent in computing efficiency can result in gains of two-to-three percent in data center efficiency through a reduction in cooling and distribution requirements. Switch mode power supplies are at the heart of many of these improvements - in many cases, power supply losses have been halved over the last few years.
