Remember WPR?Ccheck out the drive for better power use at Google

A couple of posts ago I talked about Watt Per Request (WPR) how power is becoming ever more important in http://perfguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/single-most-import-performance-metric.html.  What is cool is Google just released its power consumption to the world and it gives some good insights.  In Google fashion everything was accounted for right down to the Google Street Cars.  Check out the NY times article http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/09/technology/google-details-electricity-output-of-its-data-centers.html.  To learn more about Google power use and the industry standard metric PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) check out http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/index.html.

Enjoy,
