Welcome to the SNIA Emerald Program website.

The purpose of the SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association) Emerald Program is to provide public access to storage system power usage and efficiency through use of a well-defined testing procedure, and additional information related to system power. The measurement procedure, the SNIA Emerald™ Power Efficiency Measurement Specification, was developed and released, and is maintained by the Green Storage Technical Working Group (GS-TWG) under the guidance of the Green Storage Initiative (GSI) of the SNIA. Use of the specification with the intent of posting the Results to the SNIA Emerald Program central repository and obtaining a SNIA Emerald Program trademark and logo requires the results to be used in accordance with the SNIA Emerald™ Program rules, which are available on the Test Data Report Template.

The SNIA Emerald Program is sponsored, operated, and promoted by the SNIA GSI. The SNIA is a non-profit, international organization of manufacturers, systems integrators, developers, systems vendors, industry professionals, and end users. The GSI is responsible for managing the SNIA Emerald Program, providing input and guidance to the GS-TWG, and general marketing of energy efficiency activities within the SNIA and the storage networking industry.
