The Green Grid shrugs off Gartner's criticisms and announces plans (14-Aug-07)
Prior to the formation of the Green Grid there were no real standards for data centre IT managers to accurately measure energy efficiency. The Green Grid is now at the point of coming forward with a list of specific deliverable metrics to help provide technology leadership. The Grid is aiming to move power consumption from the state of being “always on” to being “always available”.
Over the last two quarters the consortium are aiming to complete a number of surveys, the data from which will help in assessing power consumption levels and providing guidance for future data centre design. In addition to this a number of reports will be published covering topics such as “Operational Best Practices”.
Gartner recently criticised The Green Grid in a report, suggesting that the Grid misses a greater opportunity to influence legislation and industry behaviour. It appears that the Green Grid has not been fazed by the criticisms and appears to be proactively tackling some of the data centre energy issues in the closing part of 2007.
