Learn about the global efforts of international organizations working together to develop industry metrics and guidelines to measure datacentre energy efficiency. The consortium, comprising EU, US, Japan, and industry leaders like HP and Dell, has adopted Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) as the key metric to quantify energy wastage in datacenters. Discover how these standardized metrics can improve energy efficiency by optimizing components like switches, servers, and cooling solutions. Join the movement towards more productive and eco-friendly datacenters. Stay informed, share information, and contribute to the evolution of energy-efficient data infrastructure.

Global Metric for Datacentre Effeciency Juan Mendoza
Standardizing Metrics • International organizations working together to develop global metrics to measure datacentre energy efficiency. • The consortium has agreed to use the (PUE) power-usage effectiveness as the industry metric. PUE measures the proportion of datacentre power attributed to IT equipment. It can show the percentage of energy lost to non-productive activities such as cooling and lighting.
Global Industry Consortium • Compromised of the EU Code of Conduct, US Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency, and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Green Grid. • The Green Grid is an industry consortium that includes HP, Dell, Intel and Microsoft.
Benefits of Global Metrics • Can be used to measure the energy efficiency of datacenters. • Define energy efficiency guidelines for datacentre components, e.g. switches, servers, storage, power equipment. • Future metrics would be the productivity of a datacentre, measured by the energy efficiency relative to the workload of the IT equipment, and for individual racks as organizations increase cooling solutions.
Information Sharing • For information sharing on a global scale, and between organizations in an industry there must be a high level of trust and quality information. • Use of information to develop industry accepted standardized metrics, to develop better efficient datacenters.
