Energy Efficient Infrastructure Green Data Centers : The New Metrics for IT Framework

Author(s) Adya Mishra

Abstract The rapid surge in data-intensive operations across multiple sectors has fuelled the growth of large, complex data centers that house a vast number of servers and consume energy comparable to that of a small municipality. These server farms demand massive computational resources, leading to formidable challenges such as elevated energy usage, heightened greenhouse gas emissions, and growing concerns around backup and recovery processes. In response, this paper presents an integrated framework aimed at achieving energy efficiency and minimizing carbon footprints in modern data centers. The framework capitalizes on cutting-edge green IT practices—such as virtualization, cloud-based resource pooling, and established environmental metrics—to systematically reduce power consumption and mitigate adverse ecological effects. Divided into clear phases, it addresses every major component of data center infrastructure, assesses performance through metrics including Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), Data Center Efficiency (DCE), and Carbon Emission Calculators, and sets benchmark standards for resource pools. By aligning design, operations, and monitoring under a cohesive, metrics-driven strategy, the proposed model facilitates the development of more sustainable data centers and lays down actionable best practices to limit environmental impact.
