Greening the Data Center

What is a green data center? Data center industry stakeholders are discussing definitions in various consortiums and forums, but a publicly obtainable document is not currently available.

The evaluation system is still in its infancy and more work needs to be done to create a comprehensive data center energy efficiency evaluation system.
