Server Energy-Efficiency Grading

Our transparent grading scale to categorise the energy efficiency for any server configuration of any make, model or generation.

our solution

Data Collection:

To begin, all we need is five key pieces of information about each server configuration:

  • Make
  • Model
  • Number of CPUs
  • CPU Model
  • Total RAM
  • Utilisation (if available, otherwise assumed industry's average)

This information is used to assess the server's energy performance. Notably, no personal or sensitive data is collected, and no additional software installation is required.

Grading Process:

Using the provided data, we use our machine-learning software to analyse the server's energy efficiency by measuring its performance relative to its power consumption. The system assigns a grade ranging from A+ (most efficient) to F (least efficient), enabling a clear understanding of each server's energy performance.

Reporting and Actionable Insights:

After grading, we provide a comprehensive report that categorises servers from the most to least energy-efficient. This report helps identify servers that may benefit from actions such as decommissioning, consolidation, upgrades, or reconfiguration. By focusing on these areas, companies can enhance energy efficiency, maximise performance, reduce carbon emissions, and lower operational costs.
