This study deals with the assessment indices about greening performance of datacenter. To do this, we survey existing standards and guidelines about datacenter. Those are used constructing new model of datacenter regarding greening performance. In this model, the relationship between major components will be represented by job-energy-thermal notation. Items, criteria and methods are created in order to complete the assessment indices. The existing assessment indices of the datacenter level and equipment level are investigated. Parameters, the degree of virtualization and energy efficiency also affects the performance of the green performance. Finally, to determine the improvements, the proposed indices is compared with the existing assessment tools.

Recently, the issue of efficient power management in datacenters as a part of green computing has gained prominence. For realizing efficient power management, effective power monitoring and analysis must be conducted for servers in a datacenter. However, an administrator should know the exact structure of the datacenter and its associated databases, and is required to analyze relationships among the observed data. This is because according to previous monitoring approaches, servers are usually managed using only databases. In addition, it is not possible to monitor data that are not indicated in databases. To overcome these drawbacks, we proposed an ontology-based monitoring approach. We constructed domain ontology for management servers at a datacenter, and mapped observed data onto the constructed domain ontology by using semantic annotation. Moreover, we defined query creation rules and server state rules. To demonstrate the proposed approach, we designed an ontology based monitoring system architecture, and constructed a knowledge system. Subsequently, we implemented the pilot system to verify its effectiveness.

언제부터인가 주위는 모두 "녹색" 물결로 뒤덥혀 버렸다. 그 중에서도 IT의 존재는 녹색 물결에 휩싸여 새로운 판로를 모색하고 있다. 데이터센터 역시 그 문제점은 수 년전부터 대두되어 왔고, 정책적으로 혹은 업계 자체적으로 데이터센터의 문제점을 해결하고자 많은 솔루션을 내고 있는 실정이다. 그린 데이터센터를 위한 견해는 먼저 비 IT영역으로 공조, 항온/항습 시설, 전력 배전 시설 등의 관점에서 접근하는 견해가 있고 IT영역으로 서버 자체에 대한 관점에서 접근하는 견해가 있다. 본 고에서는 데이터센터 내에서 IT 영역에 대한 전력 관리를 위하여 해야 될 역할에 대하여 언급하고자 한다. 특히 데이터센터 내 서버 자체의 전력 절감을 위한 방법에 대하여 논하고, 앞선 업체들 특히 IBM, Google, SUN 등의 동향으로부터 그린 데이터센터를 위한 방향을 모색해 보기로 한다.
