IEEE 1927.1-2025

This standard specifies a methodological framework for providing computational resources and the network that interconnects them in an energy efficient way. The framework utilizes virtualization to allow multiple secondary operators to share and slice the resources of a physical infrastructure.

The purpose of this standard is to assess and improve the energy efficiency of joint virtualization of computational resources in data centers and the network that interconnects them.

New IEEE Standard - Active. This standard’s contents specify a methodological framework for providing computational resources and the network that interconnects them in an energy efficient way. The framework utilizes virtualization to allow multiple secondary operators share and slice the resources of a physical infrastructure owned by a larger operator known as the infrastructure provider (InP). The purpose of this standard is to assess and improve the energy efficiency of joint network and data center virtualization.
