Green Grid Metrics - Describing Data Centre Power Efficiency
By Sergio Ferreira / Published on Wed, 2009-02-04 11:29The Green Grid is an association of IT professionals seeking to raise the energy efficiency of datacenters through a series of short-term and longterm proposals. For the short term, The Green Grid is proposing the use of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Datacenter Efficiency (DCE) metrics, which enable datacenter operators to quickly estimate the energy efficiency of their datacenters, compare the results against other datacenters, and determine if any energy efficiency improvements need to be made.
In the long term, The Green Grid is proposing the Datacenter Performance Efficiency (DCPE) metric and a refined version of the PUE metric be adopted for all major power-consuming subsystems in the datacenter. To promote these metrics and drive greater datacenter energy efficiency for businesses around the world, The Green Grid publishing further white papers that provide detailed guidance on using these metrics.
