FITARA Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI) – How It Applies to HPC
Abstract: As required by the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA), OMB has issued new guidance on federal data center consolidation and optimization. While the Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI) guidance continues to promote data center consolidation, it also includes new optimization goals that were initially included in Executive Order 13693 (Federal Sustainability into the Next Decade). Mr. Wooley will explain the performance goals and metrics in the new DCOI memo and how they specifically apply to HPC systems and data centers.
