Data Center Life Cycle Assessment Guidelines: A Webcast for Members of The Green Grid</h1> <article> <h1>Data Center Life Cycle Assessment Guidelines: A Webcast for Members of The Green Grid</h1> <p>Fri, 27 Apr 2012 06:02:00 GMT</p> <p>Environmental impact, also called environmental footprint, of products and organizations is becoming a major topic driven by the need of customer information, policy makers, and compliance towards regulation. Standards organizations, industry consortia, and regulatory bodies develop tools with the same goal: assessing the environmental impact of the product or the organization. However, each tool has its own specific interest range, life cycle stages, product ranges, and sometimes its own particular requirements. <br /><br />Most of these methodologies for assessing environmental impacts can apply to a data center. The objective of The Green Grid aims to provide the industry with a framework and rules to describe the specificities of a data center so that all the different methodologies can at least evaluate a data center in the same way. This common framework is intended to be used by owners, renters, and users of data centers in order to harmonize environmental studies.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Productivity Proxies, Economizer Survey, and Forum 2012: A Webcast for Members of The Green Grid</h1> <p>Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT</p> <p>The Productivity Proxies, Economizer Survey, and Forum 2012 webcast presented a preview of what attendees can expect at The Green Grid Forum 2012, specifically highlighting the Measuring Data Center Energy Productivity through Productivity Proxies and Economizer Survey Results sessions.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Data Center Maturity Model Assessment Tool: A Webcast for Members of The Green Grid</h1> <p>Thu, 12 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT</p> <p>The Data Center Maturity Model Assessment Tool webcast presented the future of DCMM and the newly created assessment tool. The tool allows you to assess your data centre and IT portfolio against the DCMM, get access to your personal DCMM equalizer, and obtain benchmarking results. <br /><br />DCMM outlines capability descriptors by area such that users can benchmark their current performance, determine their levels of maturity, and identify the ongoing steps and innovations necessary to achieve greater energy efficiency and sustainability, both today and into the future. The maturity model touches upon every aspect of the data center including power, cooling, compute, storage and network.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Deploying and Using Containerized/Modular Data Center Facilities: A Webcast for Members of The Green Grid</h1> <p>Tue, 06 Dec 2011 08:00:00 GMT</p> <p>During the Deploying and Using Containerized/Modular Data Center Facilities webcast, Program Manager for Cisco Containerized Data Center services, Christopher Kelley, provided an analysis on where and when containers make sense, including discussions on pros and cons of using containers, explorations on efficiency, cost tradeoffs, and how PUE™ should be measured.</p> </article> <article> <h1>The Green Grid Member Participation Webcasts</h1> <p>Thu, 10 Nov 2011 08:00:00 GMT</p> <p>The Green Grid Member Participation webcasts provide an exclusive overview of how Member company employees can get more involved and take advantage of their membership.</p> </article> </main></body></html>
