Abstract

The Green Grid® and SNIA Green Storage Initiative have released an updated white paper, “Energy Efficient Data Center Storage: An Assessment of Storage Product Power Efficiency.” This updated white paper includes new data analysis based on several years of EPA ENERGY STAR® Enterprise Storage System reports and further advises that an idle-only metric is a misleading indicator of a system's efficiency. This is white paper #86 which replaces whitepaper #77.
