New ASHRAE publication tackles server efficiency metrics
Since its inception in 2003, ASHRAE Technical Committee TC 9.9 has focused on the challenge of publishing valuable content to address the rapidly changing world of mission critical facilities, data centers, technology spaces, and electronic equipment (from electronic equipment to large data center campuses). The 12th book in the ASHRAE Datacom Series, Server Efficiency – Metrics for Computer Servers and Storage, is now available.
“The industry has always been interested in server performance and efficiency metrics, but it is a complicated topic,” said Don Beaty, chair of the ASHRAE TC 9.9 Publications Committee. “This book serves as a consolidation point for most of the existing measures of computer server and storage subsystems energy efficiency.”
