Abstract. With the high costs of power, energy efficiency has rapidly become a critical consideration issue when evaluating data centers. Energy efficiency metric can be used by managers to measure and maintain the implementation of cost saving and CO 2 emissions in data centers. In this study, a metric model for energy efficiency in data centers is created to provide a reference. Three of the most important data center metrics, PUE, CUE and DCeP, are examined closely. The paper provides a good comprehension of multiple approaches and makes recommendations for a platform metric that can be further developed and adopted as a standard.
