The Green Grid Response to Greenpeace’s "How Clean is Your Cloud" Report

"Any study or initiative that raises awareness around the important issues of reducing emissions and increasing energy efficiency and sustainability in the data center and cloud computing sectors is something that The Green Grid supports,” said Tim Mohin, AMD representative and Board member of The Green Grid. “We welcome the public interest Greenpeace has generated around this report and also encourage the IT industry to think about the complex idea of a ‘green data center’ in a holistic manner. By properly leveraging metrics like PUE, CUE and WUE alongside other models like The Green Grid’s Data Center Maturity Model, organizations can better understand the broader picture of their energy ecosystems and take steps to become more efficient and sustainable both inside and outside of the data center. Similarly, we encourage organizations of all sizes to actively participate in this important conversation by becoming members The Green Grid.”
