scope:

This Recommendation describes the functional requirements and framework of a green data centres energy-saving management system. The energy-saving will be achieved by increasing the energy efficiency of data centres.

The scope of this Recommendation includes:

- Characteristics and operation flow of a green data centre energy-saving management system

- Functionality requirements of a green data centre energy-saving management system (e.g., energy consumption data acquisition; energy consumption data analysis and chart show; energy consumption data query; energy consumption monitoring and early warning.)

- Framework of a green data centre energy-saving management system including functional blocks such as data collecting, data storing, data process and analysis, external system interface, user interface and control block. Sensor definition, interface and protocol are not included in the scope of this Recommendation.
