Energy Star Specifications for Enterprise-Class Servers

NEI

Abstract:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed new Energy Star® program requirements (Version 1.0) for enterprise-class computer servers, which took effect on May 15, 2009. This document defines what constitutes an Energy Star qualified computer/server (i.e., a computer that provides services and manages networked resources for client devices). It contains Tier 1 and Tier 2 compliance specifications focused on power supply efficiencies over given workloads, as well as during idle conditions. Subsequent versions of the document are expected to provide IT buyers with a useful method for comparing the energy
efficiency of servers from compliant vendors.
