EnergIT project aims at developing new tools and methodologies for green IT infrastructures and systems. The project also focuses on the new competences and profiles needed for designing and managing a green data center. The project has the following objectives: define a methodology that support the designing of data centers (this methodology aims at energy efficiency and cost reducing strategies); define a nearly real time methodology to support data centers managers to reduce energy consumption; implement a dashboard that supports to provide key performance indicators of data center, in particular indicators of energy efficiency; identify and define competences and professional curricula needed for the green data center; create and manage proper learning programs for green data centers designers and managers; enrich the European e-Competence Framework (e-CF) with a "greener" point of view.

EnergIT project is funded by Regione Lombardia (Bando Metadistretto 2008, started in 2009). The partners are: Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Milano; and the companies Beta80, Enter, and Neptuny.
