*Unused Servers Survey Results Analysis</h1> <article> <h1>*Unused Servers Survey Results Analysis</h1> <p>Wed, 28 Jul 2010 07:00:00 GMT</p> <p>In December 2009, The Green Grid conducted a brief survey to learn more about the number and nature of unused servers currently running in data centers. Results showed that only one-fifth of data center operators attempt to identify unused servers as part of their regular day-to-day operations. Those respondents who do look have an average of 10 percent unused servers in their data centers. Knowing whether servers are being well-used for productive work, and turning off those that are not, will help data centers be more energy efficient, reduce redundant infrastructure, and avoid unnecessary spending and environmental impact.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Recommendations For Measuring and Reporting Overall Data Center Efficiency</h1> <p>Thu, 15 Jul 2010 07:00:00 GMT</p> <p>The purpose of this document is to provide recommendations on measuring and publishing values for PUE at dedicated data center facilities. These recommendations represent the collective work of a task force representing 7x24 Exchange, ASHRAE, The Green Grid, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, U.S. Department of Energy Save Energy Now Program, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Program, United States Green Building Council, and Uptime Institute.</p> </article> <article> <h1>The Green Grid EMEA Webinar: Optimising Energy Efficiency in Data Centre Design, Development and Operations</h1> <p>Thu, 03 Jun 2010 07:00:00 GMT</p> <p>During The Green Grid EMEA Webinar, leaders of the EMEA Technical and Communications Work Groups discussed The Green Grid’s latest technical deliverables and provided an overview of the materials presented during the public portion of The Green Grid’s 2010 Technical Forum.
