Our new data center is looking to use the CUE metric in the near future. Our target is to make the data center as green as possible. We got suggestions to use the PUE but we are looking for better sustainability. What are the main advantages of CUE?
The CUE is actually a Green Grid development which focuses on the energy efficiency of course. If you want to understand this fact, you need to look at your full carbon emissions. This is due to the energy usage of the your datacenter. It divides the whole thing by the energy usage of the server and equipments. The metric is shown as per kilowatt-hour (kWh). You will get a zero CUE if your data center is 100% running on clean energy. This is one of the best way to determine and improve the sustainability of your data center. You can improve the designs and processes time to time.
