The Data Centre Maturity Model was created over the last year brought about to fill a gap in the industry and provide direction to help organisations drive efficiency and sustainability improvements.
The X and Y axis directionally show business benefit and impact - efficiency improvement and cost.
Level 1 is a view on where many data centres are today and Level 5 on the Maturity Model is an aspirational target and provides guidance on the cutting edge initiatives within the industry to improve your organisation's environmental impact.

Overview
The Data Centre Maturity Model provides high-level guidance on the principles to embrace in order to achieve greater efficiency savings and meet sustainability requirements to achieve a “greener” operation. The Maturity Model is unique as it encompasses efficiency and sustainable improvements.
The levels range from Level 1 to Level 5 symbolizing efficiency and sustainability as a journey upon which an organisation must strategically decide to undertake and thereby invest in accordingly. Organisations should look to move through the different levels over time to improve their efficiency and environmental impact.
