What is ISO/IEC 23544 about?
ISO/IEC 23544 specifies application platform energy effectiveness (APEE) as a Key Performance
Indicator (KPI) which quantifies the energy effectiveness of an application platform for an IT service in data centres which evaluates the energy consumption of an application platform prior to deployment.
ISO/IEC 23544 deals with KPI which measures the energy effectiveness of a set of target IT equipment, operating systems and middleware, to enable the selection of an energy effective IT stack.
ISO/IEC 23544 specifies a measurement method for assessing and reporting the energy effectiveness of an application platform along with the requirements for benchmarks to be used for APEE and requirements for reporting.
Note 1: Under ISO/IEC 23544, KPIs intended to solely evaluate the energy effectiveness of target IT equipment hardware are outside the scope of the document.
Note 2: Energy effectiveness of data centre facilities is outside the scope of ISO/IEC 23544
Who is ISO/IEC 23544 for?
ISO/IEC 23544 on APEE applies to:
- Firms that provide IT services
- Manufacturers and firms dealing in data centres
- Database management system operators
Why should you use ISO/IEC 23544 ?
In this recent utilization of large amounts of data by technologies such as AI, various kinds of data are combined and analysed, and processing requests for such combinations and analysis are also increasing. Middleware, such as a database management system (DBMS), is also becoming more important for this data utilization. The energy effectiveness of application platforms can be greatly improved through the selection of middleware.
In addition to improving the energy effectiveness of target IT equipment itself, it is necessary to improve application platform energy effectiveness by choosing an optimally energy-effective combination of target IT equipment, operating systems and middleware.
ISO/IEC 23544 helps you in assessing and reporting the energy effectiveness of an application platform and provides you with requirements for benchmarks to be used for APEE and requirements for reporting.
ISO/IEC 23544 provides assistance in selection of an energy effective IT stack which ensures increases the efficiency of your work.
ISO/IEC 23544 improves your application platform energy effectiveness by choosing an optimally energy-effective combination of target IT equipment, operating systems and middleware.
ISO/IEC 23544 can enable more efficient and effective database management system(DBMS) resulting in the storage of increasingly large amounts of data in data centres in an effective way.
