美國綠色網(wǎng)格聯(lián)盟（The Green Grid）于2007年2月26日設立，是一家以提高數(shù)據(jù)中心和業(yè)務計算體系能效的全球產(chǎn)業(yè)聯(lián)盟。董事會成員包括AMD、美國電力轉換（APC）、戴爾、惠普、IBM、英特爾、微軟、Sun微系統(tǒng)等11家公司。
該機構的加盟企業(yè)已超過100家，成員包括AMD、APC、Cisco、Dell、Emerson、Fujitsu、Fujitsu Siemens、HP、IBM、Intel、Microsoft和Sun等供應商，以及ADP、Allstate、BT、Enterprise、Facebook和Fed Ex Services等最終用戶。
綠色網(wǎng)格聯(lián)盟日本支部已在2008年5月成立，其日本企業(yè)有富士通、CTC、NTT DoCoMo、NTT Data、NEC、日立制作所、富士通FIB等。
為促進其使命的完成，The Green Grid重點關注以下方面：定義有意義、以用戶為中心的模型和指標；開發(fā)標準、測量方法、流程和新技術，以參照所定義的指標提高數(shù)據(jù)中心性能；以及推動能效標準、流程、測量方法和技術的采用。The Green Grid是一個成員互動團體，成員之間交流并改進圍繞數(shù)據(jù)中心效益的最新最佳實踐。該團體的職責范圍包括與全世界的最終用戶和政府組織協(xié)作，以確保每個組織的目標與數(shù)據(jù)中心技術的開發(fā)人員和用戶均保持一致。

About The Green Grid
The data center has changed considerably through the decades as the evolution of information technology has enabled it to become the critical nerve center of today’s enterprise. The number of data center facilities has increased over time as business demands increase, and each facility houses a rising amount of more powerful IT equipment. Data center managers around the world are running into limits related to power, cooling, and space - and the rise in demand for the important work of data centers has created a noticeable impact on the world’s power grids. The efficiency of data centers has become an important topic of global discussion among end-users, policy-makers, technology providers, facility architects, and utility companies.
When a standard set of measurements are adopted by the industry, it will be easier for end-users to manage their facilities and equipment to achieve optimal energy efficiency. The Green Grid is a global consortium of IT companies and professionals seeking to improve energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems around the globe. The organization seeks to unite global industry efforts to standardize on a common set of metrics, processes, methods and new technologies to further its common goals.
