Approx. 3.500 ton CO² is generated by:
Diesel Car-6l /100 km –20.000 km
Airplane –5 * Brussels-Barcelona
Server, 1.5 A, 24*7*365*3.000 Kwhr
Benchmarks – Power Usage Effectiveness
PUE – Power Usage Effectiveness = Total Facility Power/IT Equipment Power
The Total Facility Power is defined as the power measured at the utility meter and is power
dedicated solely to the data center
IT Equipment Power includes servers, storage, and network equipment, plus equipment such as
KVM switches, monitors, and workstations/laptops used to monitor or otherwise control the data
center

Who is responsible for energy efficiency in data centers?
IBM recommends that one person should be named as
being responsible for energy efficiency within data
centers
•
•
•
•

One person
One (virtual) organisation
One budget
One process
One set of guidelines and best practices
One set of tools
To manage energy efficiency you need to measure
and monitor energy consumption across the Data
