Bangalore: In an attempt to help its members further improve efficiencies, industry body Green Grid has launched a series of new initiatives. The group said that two online tool kits will be available on its website by the end of the first quarter. The first tool is a power energy estimator (PEE) and the second a power usage effectiveness (PUE) calculator, reports BusinessGreen.

The PEE compares various power inputs, such as workload, availability and space constraints, to generate a report that gives datacentre operators a better understanding of the power they are using, the group said. Similarly, the PUE calculator allows datacentre operators to input a facility's specific data at regular intervals to determine the power effectiveness by dividing the amount of power entering a datacentre by the power used to run the infrastructure.

The group has also launched an online course called Data Centre 101: Constrained Capacity aimed at providing operators with a better understanding of industry terms and ways to solve everyday challenges.
