The trend of energy consumed by Data Centers (DC) has clear implications for global energy demand, and several indicators have been proposed in order to help designers to monitor the efficiency and the GHG emissions of their DCs, and plan renovation and extensions of DC in order reduce both costs and emissions. Moreover, all devices involved in the DC infrastructures have their own network access and could be affected by new threats, that may cause a rise in energy consumption, with noticeable effects on the efficiency of DC and the related performance indicators. This paper aims to investigate the meaning of the most relevant indicators for energy efficiency and reduction of emissions, and the impact that some energy-aware and green-aware policies could have on such indicators. The impact of attacks is also taken into account.

Abstract
The trend of energy consumed by Data Centers (DC) has clear implications for global energy demand, and several indicators have been proposed in order to help designers to monitor the efficiency and the GHG emissions of their DCs, and plan renovation and extensions of DC in order reduce both costs and emissions. Moreover, all devices involved in the DC infrastructures have their own network access and could be affected by new threats, that may cause a rise in energy consumption, with noticeable effects on the efficiency of DC and the related performance indicators. This paper aims to investigate the meaning of the most relevant indicators for energy efficiency and reduction of emissions, and the impact that some energy-aware and green-aware policies could have on such indicators. The impact of attacks is also taken into account.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
