Ready to Go Green
Save Energy Foundation has been active since January 2022 from and for the data center industry.
The Save Energy Foundation has contacts with:
Governments, including the Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO)
Individual Data Centers including Bytesnet
DC Certifiers: certified consultancy parties, such as Tuuring, that expertly help you to obtain your certificate
DC Aggregators: certified computing units, such as WCountiT, which can collect, analyze, anonymize and store the data you provide
The Dutch branch association for data centers, the DDA, and internationally with the SDIA
The Save Energy Foundation:
Aims for improvements in data centers to use energy smarter
Ensures uniform application of measurement methods in the industry
Revenue is used to develop and/or encourage improvements and transfer knowledge about industry developments
De Save Energy Foundation:
Aims for improvements in data centers to use energy smarter
Ensures the same measurement methods in the industry
Revenue is used to develop and/or encourage improvements and transfer knowledge about industry developments
The Save Energy Foundation has contacts with:
Government such as Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate and the RVO
Data centers such as Bytesnet
DC Certifiers: certified supervisors / consultancy such as Tuuring
DC Aggregators: certified computing units such as WCountiT
Industry associations such as Dutch Data Center Association and Green IT
The Foundation issues certificates for, among others, SIC/DcIC
Several certificates are in development
SIC
SIC stands for Server Idle Coefficient. This is the ratio of the IT Workload/Idle consumption of a server to the total energy consumption. Idle use can be seen as avoidable energy loss.
DcIC
The DcIC represents the weighted average of the SIC for all servers in a data center.
Data centers can be certified under the guidance of a DC Certifier or data centers can do it themselves via a certified calculation system, the DC Aggregator.
