PCE is a performance metric that evaluates the effective utilization of power in data centers. It measures the ratio of IT equipment power to the total power consumed, encompassing all aspects of the facility’s operations, including cooling and lighting. Unlike traditional metrics, PCE provides a comprehensive assessment of how power is used within data centers, aiming to optimize the actual power capacity available.

This conviction extends from leadership through to developers. I have been blown away by developers leading the charge to create innovative new tools for accountability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
