Abstract

Collaborative Network Platform Solution for Monitoring, Optimizing, and Reporting of Environmental and Energy Performance of Data Center—Service Oriented Solution—(MORE) is about the design and development of a software solution as a collaborative network platform that supports organizations by monitoring, optimizing, and reporting of environmental and energy performance of a data center from ecological, energy usage effectiveness, and business perspectives. Based on existing standards, legal regulations, and accepted models of the data center sector, standardized Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) will be provided in terms of collection, aggregation, and dependency. Both the structure of the center’s components (hardware and software) and the monitoring level are corresponded and described semantically. The KPIs cover three main areas: environmental impacts represented by Environmental Performance Indicators (EPIs), energy usage effectiveness represented by Usage Performance Indicators (UPIs), and business perspectives represented by Business Performance Indicators (BPIs). Many organizations—especially SMEs—have no ability to benchmark or to assess all data center components, or they are missing the needed know-how to do so. Therefore, a collaborative network platform should promote cooperation between involved organizations by exchanging expertise and sharing information and data. KPIs are services and tools that give access via multiple consumption channels: mobile devices, Internet access, ERP integration, and web-services. This paper aims to assess the impact on corporate social responsibility related topics and further strategic decisions.
