   Explore Article Perspectives (Aug 1 2010) Cloud Computing , Networking , Servers

   A couple of weeks back Greg Linden sent me an interesting paper called Energy Proportional Datacenter Networks. The principal of energy proportionality was first coined by Luiz Barroso and Urs Hölzle in an excellent paper titled The Case for Energy-Proportional Computing. The core principal behind energy proportionality is that computing equipment should consume power in proportion to their utilization level. For example, a computing component that consumes N watts at ... (Read Full Article)

   PUE is still broken and I still use it. For more on why TPUE has definite flaws, see: PUE and Total Power Usage Efficiency. However, I still use it because it’s an easy to compute summary of data center efficiency. It can be gamed endlessly but it’s easy to compute and it does provide some value. Improvements are underway in locking down of the most egregious abuses of PUE. Three ... (Read Full Article)
