Here are 8 Data Center Metrics available in Reporting:
These metrics are available for all data centers (both stand-alone and data centers located within a larger building), and for all IT Configurations (meaning you can be using IT Energy Estimates):
- Data Center - UPS Output Meter (kWh) - The amount of IT energy measured from all UPS Output meters at the property.
- Data Center - PDU Input Meter (kWh) - The amount of IT energy measured from all PDU Input Meters at the property.
- Data Center - PDU Output Meter (kWh) - The amount of IT energy measured from all PDU Output meters at the property.
- Data Center - IT Equipment Input Meter (kWh) - The amount of IT energy measured from all IT Equipment Input meters at the property.
- Data Center - IT Site Energy (kWh) - Is the Site Energy for the Data Center - it is equal to either the UPS Output Meter or the PDU Input Meter, depending on which meter is being used in the Data Center.
- Data Center - IT Source Energy (kWh) - Is the Source Energy for the Data Center - which is equal to the Data Center Site Energy multiplied by the Site to Source Conversion Factor for electricity.
These metrics are only available for Stand-Alone Data Centers:
- Data Center - PUE - Data Center Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a measure of Data Center infrastructure efficiency, representing the amount of energy that is needed per unit delivered to IT equipment. It is computed as the total annual source energy divided by the annual IT source energy. A typical PUE value is about 2.0, which indicates that for every kWh that is delivered to IT equipment, an additional kWh is required for cooling, power supply, and infrastructure. PUE is the basis of the ENERGY STAR performance scale for Data Centers.
- Data Center - National Median PUE - Is the equivalent of the National Median Source EUI, but for Stand-Alone data centers.
