Abstract

This chapter gives the background on multi-tenant data centers focusing on the electrical systems, energy supply and demand, energy pricing, and other key performance indicators such as power usage coefficient (PUE), carbon footprint, and inconvenience cost. Moreover, this chapter discusses the responsibilities of the stakeholders, i.e., the utility provider, the operator and the tenants, and their split incentive issue between the stakeholders.
