Consonus Technologies, Inc. recently announced the latest Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) score for their West Data Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The 15-year-old facility achieved an impressive PUE rating -- a product of energy efficiency efforts implemented by Consonus over the past year. The industry average is typically between 2.0 and 2.2; Consonus' West Data Center PUE score was considerably lower at 1.35.
Developed by The Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems, PUE is a measure of how efficiently a computer data center uses its power, specifically, the total load required to operate the IT systems plus support systems such as power distribution, humidification, and cooling.
