Ebay has posted a Digital Service Efficiency (DSE) dashboard online that shows the full cost, performance and environmental impact of its customer buy and sell transactions — and it’s hoping other data centers will follow suit.
The company says by releasing the DSE, and its corresponding data, it will establish a baseline for 2012 and then set productivity and efficiency goals for 2013, which include:
- Increase transactions per kWh by 10 percent year over year.
- Reduce cost per transaction by 10 percent year over year.
- Reduce carbon per transaction by 10 percent year over year.
