Statement of The Green Grid Regarding PUE/ASHRAE Standard 90.4

April 8, 2016

The Green Grid® Association, the global authority on effective and accountable resource efficiency across the entire information and communications technology (ICT) ecosystem, today released the following statement:

Recent headlines about the use of The Green Grid’s PUE metric in American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standard 90.4 have created confusion about industry support for PUE. PUE enjoys broad support, extensive usage  and  continues  to  be  a  foundational –and  evolving –tool for the ICT industry’s push  for  greater  energy  efficiency.  ASHRAE Standard  90.4  is  intended  to  replace ASHRAE standard 90.1 as the model building code energy efficiency standard for data center infrastructure.

IBTA Plugfest 28 Results Highlight Expanded Ecosystem of InfiniBand EDR 100 Gb/s and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)

March 16, 2016

The InfiniBand® Trade Association (IBTA), a global organization dedicated to maintaining and furthering the InfiniBand™ specification, today announced the availability of its October 2015 InfiniBand Combined Cable and Device Integrators' List and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) Interoperability List. Last October, Plugfest 28 attendees tested a variety of InfiniBand devices, including Host Channel Adapters (HCAs), switches, SCSI Remote Protocol (SRP) targets and cables. Of particular note, there was an increase in EDR 100 Gb/s InfiniBand products compared to Plugfest 27. This trend underscores the continued industry demand for InfiniBand-based systems capable of higher bandwidth and faster performance.

RF Energy Alliance Unveils Industry Roadmap for Cooking Applications

March 16, 2016

The RF Energy Alliance (RFEA) released its initial solid-state RF energy (SSRFE) specification, the “RF Power Amplifier (PA) Roadmap: Residential Appliances.” The document marks the first time cross-value chain representatives have collectively defined and specified current and future SSRFE PA modules. Notably, the Roadmap demonstrates that PA modules can be cost competitive to current magnetron-based solutions within a decade. This establishes mass-market viability of what has been considered a cost-prohibitive and complex technology.
