The Green Grid Data Center Power Efficiency Metrics: PUE and DCiE

Tags:
data center

Overview The Green Grid is an association of IT professionals seeking to dramatically raise the energy efficiency of data centers through a series of short-term and long-term proposals. This is an update to the very first white paper published by the Green Grid in February 2007 called "Green Grid Metrics: Describing Data Center Power Efficiency" to refine the nomenclature and intent of that paper. In that paper, The Green Grid proposed the use of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and its reciprocal, Data Center Efficiency (DCE) metrics, which enable data center operators to quickly estimate the energy efficiency of their data centers, compare the results against other data centers, and determine if any energy efficiency improvements need to be made.

Hacking fears spark power-plant security clampdown

Right now, no mandatory cyber-security standards exist for power grid operators but many of them adhere to voluntary ones set by the North American Electric Reliability Council (Naerc), said a council spokeswoman.

CIO Jury: 'Gas-guzzling' PCs pose IT power issues

With ever-increasing electricity demand putting pressure on the national grid, along with rising oil prices and higher energy costs globally, the cost of keeping IT equipment switched on is now a serious concern for many organisations.

Intel signs up to Green Grid movement

The aim behind The Green Grid is to pool ideas and experience to "help drive the creation of platform-neutral specifications and metrics", the consortium said in a statement. To mark the occasion, it published three white papers on its website...

Cost and energy benefits driving virtualisation

Combining multiple grid computing farms and adding virtualisation is also on the agenda. Virtualisation will be a key infrastructure priority for CIOs looking to reduce costs and increase energy efficiency over the next 12 months.

Why must IT go green?

The National Grid is reaching breaking point. And perhaps most of all, energy is no longer like water - nor for that matter is water. The industry in the past has measured its progress by faster processors, bigger hard drives and ever smarter smart...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
