Do you know what “HR6, Section 453” is? (You should!)
January 2010
In 2007, the “Energy Independence and Security Act” was passed by congress and is sometimes referred to as “HR6” (see below). In this
As a background, the Act considers any facility or portion of a facility that “primarily contains electronic equipment used to process, store, and transmit digital information” and which “uses environmental control equipment to maintain the proper conditions” to be a datacenter, dedicated or not. So, essentially any company with IT of any nature will be subject to compliance with “HR6-453” by 2011 (next year)! The good news is that the Act as written today, is focused on “Eco-Reporting” of all IT and facility assets alone, rather than the control and active reductions of energy consumption to any prescriptive level. It articulates that baselines must be drawn up that reflect “datacenter efficiency holistically, reflecting the total energy consumption” for IT equipment and the facilities around which they are housed. It requires that these baselines be documented, auditable and available for submission to the Administrator in 2011.
Towards this end, monitoring systems will be required to be identified and put in place THIS YEAR (2010) that have the ability to measure and view energy consumption for all IT related consumption, equipment, cooling, facilities, etc. These systems will have a unique opportunity today to be initially deployed for compliance with HR6 in 2011, and yet at the same time become the framework and basis for the next expected phase of mandated behavior which will deal with actually increasing the efficiency for the IT function across all companies in the US. Additionally and in support of this and subsequent Acts, the EPA is busy developing metrics in their Energy-Star programs which will set efficiency KPIs associated with IT equipment. In short order, guidelines (and later mandates) will exist that require the active monitoring and reporting, usage of increasingly efficient equipment, cooling and facilities infrastructure equipment, and the continuous optimization of the entire IT ‘system’ for increased energy efficiency much like ITIL has been suggesting for years. Given the roadmap ahead, now is the time to start planning for the inevitable.

Should I start measuring the Energy Efficiency of my Data Center?
DCJ - Written by Bob DeCoufle Tuesday, 24 November 2009 http://bit.ly/4LFc7U
Energy management can be effective only through advanced monitoring, modeling and measuring techniques and processes. Metrics form the bedrock for internal cost and efficiency programs and Gartner urges data center managers and IT organizations to make this area a high priority, which will be essential for the adoption of so many new technologies and adherence to government policies.
Solution: Modius
Energy Opitmization and associated Data Center operating cost Savings can only be achieved by leveraging persistent and pervasive monitoring and measurment.
"You cant manage what you can't measure" and the reality is that most internal systems fall short, only covering half the problem, or just aren't architected to handle the requirements of real-time analysis.
