The new Power Efficiency Estimator is designed to help data centre operators compare different scenarios of power topologies and technologies inside of their facility.  It takes factors such as workload, availability, and space constraints into consideration and generates a report that is designed to improve decision-making in a facility.  The Power Efficiency Estimator will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2010. The new PUE Calculator allows data centre operators to easily input their facility’s specific data at regular intervals to determine their PUE.  Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), a metric created by The Green Grid, determines the amount of energy used by the facility and the IT gear inside of it.  The PUE Calculator will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2010. This new paper provides guidance on how data centre professionals can maximise power and cooling equipment electricity savings in a data centre environment that is using virtualisation to achieve its consolidation strategies.
