Servers to get Energy Star Ratings

Rackmount servers with one to four processors will be eligible to receive an Energy Star Rating on May 1 of this year. The ratings will include energy performance at full load and during idle conditions. Data center energy usage is a major issue, which is expected to get even worse. If current trends continue, data center energy usage and peak demand is expected to exceed over 100 billion kWh and 12 GW by 2011, requiring an additional 10 power plants. To read more about data centers and their energy usage, read the EPA's report to Congress on the issue. Energy Star Ratings are a drop in the bucket, but it is a move in the right direction.
