Virtual Network Function Energy Consumption (PUE-adjusted)
Description
Virtual Network Function Energy Consumption — estimated total energy consumption associated with NFV workloads, computed as virtual compute energy multiplied by the data center’s PUE (E(VNF) = E(virtual compute) × PUE). Defined in Section 5.4.3 of the ATIS NGL white paper.
