In response to stronger environmental legislation, data center operators in European countries are making greater investments in data center efficiency — as well as increasing their reporting.
This briefing report identifies and describes a number of de facto standards and laws used in the field of data center sustainability and efficiency (for convenience, we use the term “standards” for all).
Data center operators face expanding information and key performance indicator reporting requirements. Standard accounting practices and data exchange processes will help enable the efficient exchange of information.
Industry stakeholders recognize that to truly understand IT infrastructure efficiency, data center operators need to report a facility work per unit of energy metric. Most operators are, however, unprepared to calculate this metric.
To help address the growing scrutiny of digital infrastructure efficiency, this webinar explores some of the options available to communicate IT system efficiency and work delivered per unit of energy consumed.
Operators report that their sustainability initiatives not only benefit the environment — they also reduce operating costs and improve customer engagement. Sustainability strategies, however, vary widely.
This Q&A brings together contributor/member questions and expert answers from a series of Uptime webinars held on the topic of sustainability and regulations and reporting in 2022.
