Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 120 rows came out of a blueprint — 19 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each server must report hourly energy consumption and cooling usage.
  • Include hardware lifecycle status for every server entry.
  • Log server downtime and uptime related to maintenance or energy-saving measures.
  • Quantify and categorize ESG incidents (e.g., excessive resource consumption, compliance breaches).
  • Tag each record with game genre and regional hosting location.
