The Green Grid (TGG) launched a new survey today of data center energy and water use in support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) ENERGY STAR® Program to update the U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR scoring methodology for data centers.
Data center owners and operators are encouraged to participate and contribute the data needed to update the ENERGY STAR Scoring methodology. This will enable the data center industry to continue its drive towards resource and energy efficiency improvements in its facilities, critical to the world’s fight against climate change.

Operators will be given the tools to enhance the security measures found within their data centers as a result of the new Data Center Work Group formed at the Trusted Computing Group (TCG).
Data centers play a crucial role for business operations across the globe, but they remain prime targets for cybercriminals. Should an interposer position themselves between the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and a hardware Root of Trust – such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) – within a data center, they can cause significant damage by gaining possession of legitimate control signaling between the CPU and the TPM. Interposers can even inject their own boot code into the CPU and wield an authorization key to fool a remote verifier to make the TPM attest the integrity of fraudulent information. This allows them to snoop, suppress and modify vital signals and measurements, and, as a result, will be able to access and exploit secrets and information from within the data center, weaponizing it against the operator.
