Answer» I realize this is a completely DIFFERENT realm from my and your personal computing but it may be a topic of interest to you: 2011: The Year Data Centers Turned GreenVery interesting article. Not to be disparaging but probably a great deal of the motivation for these projects was economy (not a bad thing). HOWEVER if we are to really take the issue of the PLANET's future abilities to sustain life (particularly of the human variety) seriously a much greater emphasis will need to be applied to climate change. Personally i had always wanted "waterfront property" and the way THINGS are going i may SOON get it without moving.truenorthYears ago, when "data centers" were a few racks of servers, nobody worried about energy costs. Now that data centers can take up hundreds of racks (sometimes over a thousand), energy costs can be astronomical. Not to take away from anybodies desire to go green, but cost is a big factor. |
