Abstract |
|
|
| Intensifying computation demand from enterprises has driven the growth of large, multifaceted data centers to manage
current Internet, financial, commercial, and business applications. A data center comprises thousands of servers and other equipment
that require substantial amounts of power to operate. This condition results in numerous challenges for the data center industry, such
as massive energy consumption, underutilization of installed equipment, emission of greenhouse gases, and effect on global warming.
This paper highlights the significance of identifying metrics to determine the performance and efficiency of a data center, which can
help such a facility achieve operational cost savings through proper implementation of performance-measuring metrics. This paper
discusses the implementation of Power Usage Effectiveness metrics in a tier-level data center in Pakistan. The results show that the
overall performance value of the facility is 3.3, which indicates poor and inefficient operations. |
