The drive toward sustainability - looking beyond PUE to new metrics of efficiency
Data centres are the backbone of our digital world, supporting cloud services, IoT, and AI. As businesses and consumers rely more on these infrastructures, sustainability becomes paramount with reporting now playing an integral part. Traditionally, energy efficiency metrics like Power Usage Efficiency (PUE) and Data Centre Infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) have guided data centre design but are they enough? The industry faces complex challenges and looking beyond these standard measures and to start incorporating sustainable solutions into the metrics will be key to building and operating an efficient and sustainable data centre.
In this whitepaper you can explore how a systems-engineered approach can help to redefine efficiency and sustainability and offers an opportunity for the industry to start measuring data centres differently.
