The committee responsible for this document is ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, SC 39, Sustainability for and by Information Technology.iv ISO/IEC 2016 All rights reserved ISO/IEC TR 20913:2016(E) Introduction The ISO/IEC 30134 series defines key performance indicators (KPIs) for data centr

16、e resource effectiveness. There are many aspects to be considered in order to improve data centre resource effectiveness. As for resources, it may include not only energy, but also water and other natural resources. As for data centre components, they include air conditioning, power supply, servers,

17、 storages, and network equipment. However, it is difficult to include all aspects into one KPI, so multiple KPIs are under development, which measure each aspects of resource effectiveness improvement. Resource effectiveness improvement in each aspect will be performed by measuring each KPI. On the

18、other hand, there is a need to observe the state and trend of data centre as a whole, or holistically, by monitoring multiple KPIs in a single view. Analysis of the KPIs from the overall perspective is also referred to as a holistic investigation method. This document describes a spider web chart-ba

19、sed method and control chart method extending the functionality of the conventional spider web chart for viewing and analysing KPIs for data centre resource effectiveness. It also investigates considerations for applying holistic investigation methods to resource effectiveness evaluation of multiple

20、 data centre KPIs. The usefulness and applicability of holistic methods are discussed using a SWOT analysis. The methods described in this document are intended for analysis and continuous improvement of a specific data centre and not for comparing different data centres. ISO/IEC 2016 All rights res

21、erved v Information technology Data centres Guidelines on holistic investigation methodology for data centre key performance indicators 1 Scope This document describes backgrounds, motivation, and general concept of holistic methodology for data centre key performance indicators (KPIs) to investigat

22、e the status of KPIs. It discusses the usefulness of holistic investigation methodology in terms of aggregating a KPI across different contexts, aggregation of two or more KPIs within a single context, aggregation of two or more KPIs across multiple contexts, and aggregation of the multiple KPIs int

23、o a single indicator. This document presents a conventional spider web chart-based data centre KPIs status observation method and a control chart method including upper bound and lower bound of the operational status of KPIs. This document presents SWOT analysis results for both methodologies. The m

24、ethods described in this document are aimed at the self-monitoring of a data centre, not comparison among data centres. Specifically, this document a) describes backgrounds, motivation, and general concept of holistic investigation methodology for data centre KPIs, b) analyses the usefulness of holi

25、stic investigation methodology for aggregating KPIs, c) describes a spider web chart-based KPIs status observation method and a control chart extending spider web chart to observe the operational status of KPIs, d) describes alternative and/or additional methods of representing dissimilar KPIs to tr

26、ack holistic resource effectiveness of the data centre, and e) presents SWOT analysis results for holistic investigation methods described in this document. 2 Normative references There are no normative references in this document. 3 T erms, d efinitions and abbr e viat ed t erms 3.1 T erms and defi

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 39 h

31、as determined that it is impractical to aggregate multiple KPIs to determine the overall energy effectiveness of a data centre. There is a need to observe the state and trend of multiple KPIs in a single view. With any performance indicator, it is necessary to understand the expected upper and lower

32、 limits and general behaviour of the performance indicator. There are typically two approaches that are applicable to holistic investigation of data centre KPIs: Engineering/modeling method: This method has been used to establish baseline performance. This methodology requires the development of an

33、optimized economic and engineering model based on creating an idealized benchmark specific to each utility incorporating the topology, demand patterns, and population density of the service territory. Typical limitations of this approach are as follows: the engineering models that support it can be

34、very complicated, and the structure of the underlying components relationships can be obscured through a set of assumed coefficients used in the optimization process. Performance benchmarking method: This method includes a set of specific performance measurement indicators, such as volume billed per

35、 worker, consumed energy per product, quality of service (continuity, water quality, complaints), coverage, and key financial data. Usually, these indicators are presented in ratio form to control the scale of operations. These partial measures are generally available and provide the simplest way to

36、 perform comparisons: trends direct attention to potential problem areas. Among the methods mentioned above, the performance benchmarking method is useful for evaluating the resource efficiency of data centres because ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 39 is offering a selection of energy effectiveness KPIs. The perf

37、ormance benchmarking method may be further categorized into two types: performance indicator-based methods and chart-based methods. Performance indicator-based methods: In this category, the performance of the target is evaluated by developing performance indicators for the target. For example, Hz f

38、or CPU and bytes for storage are typical performance indicators. This category allows accurate performance evaluation and comparison among targets, if the performance indicators are defined. Typical limitation of this approach is that it is difficult to compare the evaluation results if performance

39、indicators belong to different dimensions with different units.2 ISO/IEC 2016 All rights reserved ISO/IEC TR 20913:2016(E) Chart-based methods: This category depicts the targets performance by using chart methods, such as pie, bar, line, and spider web, etc. This category is useful for evaluating pe

40、rformance by displaying multiple performance indicators, making analysis easier. Since the chart-based approach supports multiple performance indicators simultaneously, it is appropriate for a holistic method. The spider web chart in particular is well suited for the display and analysis of multiple

41、 KPIs. A spider web chart is useful for displaying multiple KPIs in a single chart. It is also useful for displaying multiple measurement values of several KPIs in a single chart, for example, temporal measurement values of several KPIs. Thus, this document focuses on the spider web chart- based hol

42、istic KPI investigation methods. It is noted that the chart-based approach, especially spider web chart, has typical issues for applying a KPI investigation, such as scaling and normalization of KPI values, KPIs with different dimensions, ordering of KPIs in the chart, graphical interpretation of th

43、e chart, and so on. These typical issues are discussed in Clause 6 in detail. 4.2 Usefulness of spide r w eb chart methods fo r visualizing data c entr e KPIs The spider web chart consists of a bundle of performance indicators which are set in a circle. The indicators are usually normalized from zer

44、o to one, one indicating the highest possible performance, but unnormalized indicators may be utilized. Individual axes may need to be inverted in order for the different indicators to correlate. It is clear that the quality of the spider web charts depends on the validity, reliability, and comprehe

45、nsiveness of the performance indicators. It is known that the spider web chart has strength on visualizing the status of performance indicators. Regarding visualization capability, spider web charts provide a synoptic description of multiple performance measures and make trade-offs between performan

46、ce measures visible. Figure 1 shows a spider web chart consisting of three sets of performance measurements and five performance indices. In the figure, the values of each index are originally measured and unnormalized ones, and the farther from centre of the chart implies the better. Each green, bl

47、ue, and red polygon connecting measurement values of five index shows a single observation of the five indices, respectively. Using the chart, it is possible to visually compare the performance achievement among multiple performance measurements and indicators. F i g u r e 1 E x a m p l e o f a s p

49、tion objectives and to present a visual comparison of performance in various fields, especially business management. As discussed in this clause, the visualization capability of a spider web chart can help data centre administrators to monitor the specified performance KPIs of the data centre and their changes so that they can improve the efficiency of the data centre. For example, by regularly constructing the spider web chart showing the state of each KPI, the data centre administra
