SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
This workshop will cover storage-specific topics related to
energy-efficiency and outline the current state of the industry.
We will discuss the components of modern storage systems that
impact energy consumption and a range of technologies that are
currently considered “green storage”. We will discuss the SNIA
Emerald program and its corresponding storage power efficiency
measurement specification. This discussion will cover the
metrics used for measuring, maintaining and designing for
power in storage systems. We will also outline ongoing efforts
by other organizations to standardize metrics for measuring
storage systems.
