Information technology - Data centre facilities and infrastructures - Part 4-8: Carbon usage effectiveness

This document specifies the Carbon Usage Effectiveness as a KPI to quantify the CO2 emissions of a data centre during the use phase of the data centre life cycle. This document a) defines the Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE) of a data centre, b) introduces CUE measurement categories, c) describes the relationship of this KPI to a data centre’s infrastructure, information technology equipment and information technology operations, d) defines the measurement, the calculation and the reporting of the parameter, e) provides information on the correct interpretation of the CUE.

Technologie de l’information - Installation et infrastructures de centres de traitement de données - Partie 4-8: Efficacité de l’utilisation du carbone

Le présent document spécifie l’efficacité de l’utilisation du carbone comme un KPI permettant de quantifier les émissions de CO2 d’un centre de traitement de données pendant la phase d’utilisation du cycle de vie du centre de traitement de données. Le présent document: a) définit l’efficacité de l’utilisation du carbone d’un centre de traitement de données; b) introduit les catégories de mesure de la CUE; c) décrit la relation de ce KPI avec une infrastructure de centre de traitement de données, des équipements de traitement de l’information et des opérations de traitement de l’information; d) définit le mesurage, le calcul et les rapports du paramètre; e) fournit des informations sur l’interprétation correcte de la CUE.

Informacijska tehnologija - Naprave in infrastruktura podatkovnega centra - 4-8. del: Učinkovitost porabe ogljika

Ta dokument določa učinkovitost porabe ogljika (CUE) kot KPI za opredelitev emisij CO2 podatkovnega centra med fazo uporabe življenjskega cikla podatkovnega centra. S poročanjem o emisijah CO2 je mogoče predstaviti prispevek podatkovnih centrov k podnebnim spremembam (okrepljen učinek tople grede).
