300 Million-Year-Old Limestone Houses Ultra Efficient Data Center 22 Stories Underground : TreeHugger
"In western Pennsylvania, a data center is using the benefits of a very cool location. It's Iron Mountain's man-made caverns in an old limestone mine, and in room 48, an experiment in data center efficiency design and the use of geothermal environmental conditions for extra efficiency is taking place. In other words, researchers are trying to find out if putting data centers deep underground will be an ideal place for them. "
Google Patent Reveals Data Center Innovations « Data Center Knowledge
"Google is seeking to patent an advanced data center cooling system that provides precision cooling inside racks of servers, automatically adjusting to temperature changes while dramatically reducing the energy required to run chillers."
IBM Press room - 2009-12-02 Syracuse University, IBM, New York State Launch One of the World's Greenest Data Centers - United States
Syracuse University, with partners IBM and New York State, today celebrated the construction of its new Green Data Center - a showcase of world-class innovations in advanced energy-efficient information technology and building systems.
Cloud computing goes green in Finland, heat captured in underground data center - Green Data Center Blog
"In the chill of a massive cave beneath an orthodox Christian cathedral in Helsinki, Finland, a city power firm is preparing what it thinks will be the greenest data center on the planet.
Excess heat from hundreds of computer servers to be located in the bedrock beneath Uspenski Cathedral, one of Helsinki's most popular tourist sites, will be captured and channeled into the district heating network, a system of water-heated pipes used to warm homes in the Finnish capital."
New NSA $1.5 Bil Data Center has Green Requirements - Green Data Center Blog
" The National Security Agency, whose job it is to protect national security systems, will soon break ground on a data center in Utah that's budgeted to cost $1.5 billion.
The budget document specifies green features.
Facility design goal will be to the highest LEED standard attainable within available resources and will include: sustainable site characteristics, water and energy efficiency, materials and resources criteria, and indoor environmental quality."
Your Data Center is Much too Cold | GreenerComputing.com
Most data center managers keep their facilities much too cold -- as much as 15 percent too cold, according to a server expert at Intel.
In an article by Rik Myslewski published yesterday in The Register, Dylan Larson, Intel's director of server platform technology initiatives, explained last week that keeping data centers in the low 70s and high 60s leads to a significant amount of excess cooling, and wasted energy.
IBM Launches First Two-Year Green Data Center Degree | GreenBiz.com
A new, two-year associate's degree from the Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, Neb., is being touted as the first of its kind to give students an intensive focus on designing and managing green data centers.
The program was launched today in cooperation with IBM, and will offer students coursework on virtualization and server consolidation, energy efficiency, security and compliance skills
Google’s Chiller-less Data Center « Data Center Knowledge
Google (GOOG) has begun operating a data center in Belgium that has no chillers to support its cooling systems, a strategy that will improve its energy efficiency while making local weather forecasting a larger factor in its data center management
The Raised Floor: The Battle for Data Center Efficiency - Who Owns it?
We are finally starting to see all IT vendors realize that they need to be part of the solution. Server vendors were the first to recognize this, since the increase in chip power consumption and heat dissipation was the first obvious problem. However, all elements in the data center need to contribute to improved power and cooling metrics.
Chill-Off! - Geekism
we coordinated the testing of five differant modular, closely coupled cooling solutions. It was dubbed the "Chill-Off". These is the story.
