scope:

This document provides the methodology to be used by vendors and third-party independent laboratories in the formation of a telecommunications energy efficiency ratio. The requirements and definitions in this document are for the server class of products that are deployed in the telecommunications industry. This supplemental standard represents one part of the larger ATIS suite of standards concerning Telecommunications Energy Efficiency (ATIS-0600015 [Ref 1]). This supplemental standard (ATIS-0600015.01) specifically addresses server equipment and is to be used in conjunction with ATIS-0600015 [Ref 1].

Purpose

This document provides a set of definitions, requirements, and guidelines for calculating the Telecommunications Energy Efficiency Ratio (TEER) of a system or network configuration consisting of server products.
