Whitepaper: The Green Grid Metrics: Describing Data Center Power Efficiency
The Green Grid explains the use of the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric, along with its reciprocal the Data Center Efficiency (DCE) metric. These metrics are designed to allow a data center operator to relatively quickly estimate the energy efficiency of their data center, as well as to quantify how the data center stacks up against its peers.

More than social responsibility: a foundation for growth, economic gain and operating stability
The message is clear: Energy costs are rising, supply is limited, the data center infrastructure is being taxed, and its ability to meet business demands is at stake. CIOs who want to solve these problems will need to focus on data center innovation. Fortunately, green strategies and technologies exist today to help optimize space, power, cooling and resiliency while improving operational management and reducing costs—at the same time, helping to position companies for growth and enabling CIOs to meet expanding business needs.

ADC Building $100M Green Data Center
June 17, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — According to a report appearing last week in the Sacramento Business Journal, data center startup Advanced Data Centers (adatacenters.com) is well into the construction of its first facility, intended to be particularly environmentally friendly.
The Sacramento facility is being built at McLellan Business Park, which, according to the ADC website is located on the McLellan Airforce Base, a facility that apparently affords the data center “on-site security, emergency services and full service airport.”
The data center will occupy 237,000 square feet, and include 11 private data center suites of 10,000 square feet each.
ADC president Michael Cohen tells the Sacramento Business Journal that the goal of the project is to create the most efficient data center possible, both for the purpose of the company’s bottom line and for its impact on the environment.
