Well actually I believe that there are, and although the data center is a highly complex environment, these measures are simultaneously useful and applicable.</p><p>I refer you to my earlier blog entry <a href="http://www.thehotaisle.com/2008/05/15/how-efficient-is-my-data-center/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.thehotaisle.com/2008/05/15/how-efficient-is-my-data-center/">http://www.thehotaisle.com/...</a> that picks up on work done by the Green Grid <a href="http://www.thegreengrid.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.thegreengrid.org">http://www.thegreengrid.org</a> on PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness and DCiE (Data Center infrastructure Effectiveness) and finally CPE (Compute Power Efficiency).</p><p>The BCS article referred to in this article takes some of that work to a higher level of practicality. I strongly recommend this approach for Data Center professionals who really want to measure and manage data center power efficiency.</p><p>Steve</p>thehotaisleFri, 14 Nov 2008 02:26:56 -0000http://www.thehotaisle.com/2008/10/30/improving-data-center-efficiency/#comment-3744229<p>The data centre is a very complex environment that does not really lend itself to simple analysis and measurement. There are no effective standards for what to measure or where and how to measure it</p>ArtificialThu, 13 Nov 2008 12:05:22 -0000
