For the past 15 years, the case for moving workloads out of enterprises data centers and into the cloud and colocation has been strong. Power availability and demand for high-density capacity may change that.
Although the share of processing handled by the corporate or enterprise sector has declined over the years, it has never disappeared. But there are signs that it may reclaim a more central role.
This briefing report identifies and describes several de facto standards and laws used in the field of data center sustainability and efficiency (for convenience, we use the term “standards” for all).
