Data center energy efficiency.
Google s green data centers.
The closer the value is to 1 the more efficient the cooling delivery.
Data centers can become more energy efficient by incorporating features like power saving stand by modes energy monitoring software and efficient cooling systems.
These data centers are typically designed to operate at a power usage effectiveness pue of 1 5 or lower at full it capacity.
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.
These efficiency improvements can produce significant energy savings reduce the load on the electric grid and help protect the nation.
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.
It found that efficiency improvements have kept energy usage almost flat across the globe s data centers even as demand for cloud computing has skyrocketed.
Pue is the ratio of the total energy consumed by the data center divided by the energy consumed by the it equipment.
