Other guides on data center energy efficiency include.
The new study shows that while the amount of computing done in data centers increased by about 550 percent between 2010 and 2018 the amount of energy consumed by data centers only grew.
The best quarterly efficiency performance from an individual facility was a pue of 1 11 data center e tying our lowest reported value to date data center b q1 09.
Pue is the ratio of the total energy consumed by the data center divided by the energy consumed by the it equipment.
These efficiency improvements can produce significant energy savings reduce the load on the electric grid and help protect the nation.
Data centers offer a tremendous opportunity for energy and cost savings.
The federal energy management program femp encourages agencies and organizations to improve data center energy efficiency in accordance with the office of management and budget s smart cloud strategy and m 16 19 memorandum.
