At AFCOM's Data Center World in Nashville, I presented "Why PUE is not enough: How to measure TRUE success in the data center".  In this talk, I discuss a number of different metrics that merge IT performance with consumed resources (energy, cooling, and space). Also considered is how to carefully choose metrics, so that you use the right metrics to gauge your performance and progress, whether in application performance, IT utilization, energy footprint, or available capacity.  I really enjoyed the talk and had a great interactive audience (sorry that you can't always hear the audience questions in the recording).  I look forward to being invited back to present follow on educational sessions at future AFCOM conferences (such as DCW in October in Las Vegas).  I had a fun time putting together this particular talk, which is different in a number of ways than the talks I gave earlier this year at Data Centre World in London, and the GSMI Green Data Center Conference in San Diego.

If you have any questions or feedback on the talk, please leave them in the comments.  And to Google and Facebook, I really wasn't trying to pick on you!
