Abstract

This chapter is based on the project Measuring Data Centre Efficiency (Pattinson and Cross, 2013) funded under the JISC Grant Funding 14/10: JISC Greening ICT Programme (October 2010). More specifically, it resides under initiative I of that call, Rapid Innovation in ICT. The metering methodology employed for this project fostered metering at varying granularity (e.g., measurement of energy use for individual devices/location of the data center; measurement of energy use for aggregated devices/locations). The project provided real experimental ...
