HomeEcodesign technical assistance study on standards for lot 9 enterprise servers and enterprise data storage
Final report
Publication metadata
The Ecodesign Technical Assistance Study on Standards for Enterprise Servers and Data Storage (DG ENTR Lot 9) is a European Commission study, led by Intertek. The study aims to provide technical assistance to support standardisation-related tasks for equipment under the scope of the DG ENTR Lot 9 (namely enterprise servers and data storage). The focus of this project is upon the provision of technical assistance to facilitate the establishment of the foundation standards (or, when necessary, transitional methods) that will be necessary for implementing measures addressing Lot 9 products, should the Commission decide to proceed with such measures. Standardised approaches to measurement are necessary in order that manufacturers can assess their compliance with any requirements that may be defined in regulation, and so that national bodies can assess market compliance of products on their markets. The study methodology centres upon an assessment of the need for standards – identifying parameters and existing standards and identifying gaps. The priority is to facilitate work towards: A robust, durable standardised method for measuring the energy efficiency of servers (especially rack servers but also blade servers) A robust, durable standardised method for measuring the energy efficiency of data storage devices The study includes interaction with the relevant standardisation processes and a consideration of how metrics might be built upon the identified standards. This second component includes testing of rating tools and measurement approaches in order to provide recommendations to the standardisation processes underway to ensure repeatability, consistency and robustness.
