Resource Measurement for Services in a heterogeneous Environment

In days of Green IT and an international discussion about global warming and CO₂ reduction resource saving is more discussed than ever. Each individual computer center can contribute to this effort and therefore it is necessary to measure the resource consumption of the computer center. The sum of all the services executed in the computer center are responsible for the overall resource consumption. Therefore it is necessary to have a closer look on each individual service and its resource consumption helps to redesign the computer center for a resource saving environment.
