The Swiss Datacenter Efficiency Association (SDEA) is an independent nonprofit organization where industry, academia, and government collaborate to make verified sustainability the global standard in data center operations.
Its framework draws on 12 months of measured operational data and independent third-party audit to assess four dimensions: data center efficiency, IT efficiency, carbon footprint, and water usage.
This collaborative effort, initiated in Switzerland by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), brings together key players such as EcoCloud at EPFL, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU), Swiss Data Center Association (SDCA), and Swiss Telecommunications Association (asut).
Supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy.
