EU Code of Conduct for Data Centers

 

Romonet have been involved with the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centers since early 2008. Towards the end of 2008 Romonet CTO (Liam Newcombe) was asked to chair the Best Practice working group on behalf of the EC-JRC (European Commission Joint Research Centre).

Liam managed the process of agreeing the best practice guide along with the associated process and documentation. The Best Practice working group continuously reviews data center best practices and updates the wider stakeholders  group at the annual review meeting held at the European Commission Joint Research Centre site in Ispra, Italy.

The BCS Data Centre Specialist Group maintains an on-line forum and as well as a LinkedIn discussion group for input and contribution to the code's best practices. Both members and non-members are welcome to contribute to either.

Quote from Best Practice working group chairman - Liam Newcombe at the launch of the Code in November 2008.

"The process of negotiating the final list of best practices was not an easy one. Stakeholders from all corners of the industry (and global) provided feedback and active participation. However I feel the group was able to settle on a base set of best practices that are relevant to all sizes and types of data centers."

Romonet are proud to be an Endorser of the EU Code of Conduct on Data Centers.
