The present document is based upon Energy Efficiency Benchmark for Data storage products.
The present document specifies:
1) an active state metric, test conditions and product family configuration for the assessment of energy efficiency of DSE using reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement methods;
2) an idle state metric and the calculation of the idle state power;
3) a measurement method of the active state power;
4) a measurement method of the idle state power;
5) the measurement and calculation of the maximum power;
6) the measurement and calculation of the operating condition class, the ASHRAE validation, using reliable, accurate and reproducible measurement methods, which take into account the recognized state of the art;
7) requirements for equipment to perform the measurements and analysis;
8) documentation and reporting requirements;
9) evaluation methodology for energy saving level from the perspective of supported energy saving features.
The present document addresses DSE.
The present document is applicable at the energy efficiency of:
• online storage;
• nearline storage.
The present document defines metric for the assessment of energy efficiency of DSE and related testing methodology considering data storage equipment HW and system.
