Energy efficiency standard implemented for data centres

The Singapore Standard for Green Data Centres - Energy and Environmental Management Systems has been launche to help data centres manage energy use and cost.

It is a certifiable management system that will help data centres enhance competitiveness.

This is an inititative of the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, SPRING Singapore and the IT Standards Committee.

According to IDA and SPRING, the standard can help measure, track and identify aspects of energy efficiency. It is modeled against international management systems.

It is estimated that the 10 data centres here consume enough energy for 130,000 households - more than 10% of total home energy in Singapore. About 70% of energy consumption is for cooling.

Energy consumption and thus overall operating cost is likely to grow in tandem with the industry, which is set to grow another 50%.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
