US Data Center Energy Usage Reports (2007 & 2016)

~1.8% U.S. Electricity

45% Reduction Possible with Best Practices and greater shift to hyper-scale

Drivers: Executive Order 13693 and the Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI)

Specific federal goals for data centers: • Promote energy optimization, efficiency, and performance • Install/monitor advanced energy meters in all data centers by FY2018

- Active tracking of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)

• Establish PUE targets: 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 = 𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝐷𝐷𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇𝑇 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑇𝑇𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝐹𝐹𝑇𝑇𝐹𝐹𝐹𝐹𝑇𝑇𝐹𝐹𝑇𝑇𝐹𝐹 𝑃𝑃𝑇𝑇𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝑇𝑇𝐶𝐶 𝐸𝐸𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐸𝐸𝐹𝐹𝐼𝐼𝑇𝑇 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐹𝐹𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑇𝑇 𝑃𝑃𝑇𝑇𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 𝑇𝑇𝐶𝐶 𝐸𝐸𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐸𝐸𝐹𝐹

- between 1.2 and 1.4 for new data centers - less than 1.5 for existing data centers

• Option: close the data center (consolidate, move to the cloud)

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a measure of how efficiently a data center’snfrastructure uses energy.
