Energy efficiency standard implemented for data centres

The Singapore Standard for Green Data Centres - Energy and Environmental Management Systems has been launche to help data centres manage energy use and cost.

It is a certifiable management system that will help data centres enhance competitiveness.

This is an inititative of the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, SPRING Singapore and the IT Standards Committee.

According to IDA and SPRING, the standard can help measure, track and identify aspects of energy efficiency. It is modeled against international management systems.

It is estimated that the 10 data centres here consume enough energy for 130,000 households - more than 10% of total home energy in Singapore. About 70% of energy consumption is for cooling.

Energy consumption and thus overall operating cost is likely to grow in tandem with the industry, which is set to grow another 50%.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
