Servers today consume more than 2.5% of the total electricity used in the United States—more than $4 Billion dollars each year. Over the last six years, the power consumed by servers has more than doubled. SeaMicro, backed by [Draper Fisher Jurvetson](http://www.crunchbase.com/financial-organization/draper-fisher-jurvetson) and [Khosla Ventures](http://www.crunchbase.com/financial-organization/khosla-ventures), is building solutions that will revolutionize the data center landscape. SeaMicro has identified the primary drivers underlying power inefficiencies in servers and has systematically rectified these shortcomings. The result is a small form factor server that uses one-quarter of the power and requires only one-sixth of the space used by traditional servers. SeaMicro servers are plug-and-play—they require no changes to software operating systems, applications, or management infrastructure.
