, &
 

Abstract

Most enterprises host their critical data in data centers to have a secure, robust environment supporting the highest uptime for their IT operations. As per industry best practices, standards, conference papers and journals; there are various ways suggested through which efficiency of data center is calculated. This review paper provides information on the efficiency calculation factors relatum to data center loads and its classification. It describes how measurement of data center efficiency is to be done and which are the crucial components which need to be considered for calculating the true values accurately for power usage efficiency (PUE) and data center infrastructure efficiency (DCiE).Basis on researchfindings & working towards data center efficiency measurement, the future research scope has been identified that how various techniques can be applied on data center major components - Power & Cooling which further can be helpful towards improvement of Data Center efficiency.
