The Storage Performance Council (SPC) will produce a standardised metric for the power efficiency of storage gear. It has been proposed that the metric will involve a financial element, because customers need to see how much they are spending in relation to power consumption and performance.

The requirement for the metric becomes increasingly urgent as data centres are reaching the limits of their cooling and power supply, and customers are being faced with the problem of sticking within their kW budgets.
