20 February, 2019 | Report

The objective is this review is to provide technical critique on the merits of the subject matter presented in the Open Compute Project (OCP) paper “The Current State of Data Center Energy Efficiency in Europe”.  Some of the information in the OCP paper may play into the narrative of those who believe that the IT industry is not doing enough to reduce global data center energy consumption.  We believe it’s important for IT industry to refute that narrative and set the record straight based on facts to ensure a consistent industry position.  This review will provide industry concerns and response by each section of OCP paper.
