UPS and Cooling Power Consumption Calculation for PUE Computation

[BillP]

Hi,

Good day. I have my existing Data Center and I want to know my PUE (Power Usage Efficiency). Do you have any information or standards on how to compute the PUE for every Data Center Infrastructure (i.e. UPS, Cooling, PDUs...). I was just wondering how will I be able to compute my UPS's electrical consumption so with my cooling unit. I'm using a 48kW All-in-One Symmetra PX and an InRow DX Type, 600mm cooling unit. Hope you can help me with this. Your response is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Romeo

Hi Romeo,

I think the DCIM community @ http://dcimsupport.apc.com will have some ideas for you. They actively work and talk about PUE over there and it is not a topic most of us here are well versed in. I'd suggest asking over there to see what they can share with you.
