IT equipment Work Capacity (ITWC v1)

The Green Grid is proud to announce:

The ITWC v1 metric. This metric calculates server work capacity (Cserv) for standard CPUs in the data center using IT Work Capacity Metric (PerfCPU). Servers constitute the largest proportion of work capacity in the data center. Version 1 of the ITWC addresses only server work capacity. Future versions will incorporate storage and network equipment to ultimately provide an integrated measure of the total work capacity.
