What is The Green Grid?
The Green Grid is an international consortium of data centres, technology companies and research institutions that collaborate on best practices relating to energy consumption, water management, cooling and sustainability. Among other things, the organisation develops standards such as PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), which are used worldwide as a benchmark for energy efficiency.
As a member of The Green Grid, Datacenter United has access to the latest insights and tools in the field of sustainable data centre management, knowledge that we apply directly at our Belgian sites.
