How much can your organization save by having more efficient cooling in your Data Center?
As much as 40% of a data center's energy bill is from cooling equipment. Try our new Interactive Data Center Efficiency Calculator and find out how you can start improving your data center efficiencies now! Issue: Understanding the Efficiency Metrics Best Practice: Adoption and use of PUE/DCiE In furtherance of its mission, The Green Grid is focused on the following: defining meaningful, user-centric models and metrics; developing standards, measurement methods, processes and new technologies to improve data center performance against the defined metrics. - The Green Grid Measurements like watts per square foot, kilowatts per rack, and cubic feet per minute (cfm) are ingrained in data center dialogue. Until recently, no standard measurement existed for data center efficiency. Enter the Green Grid, a consortium promoting responsible energy use within critical facilities. The group has successfully introduced two new terms to the data center lexicon: Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE). |
