Cool Blue is designed to fit on to IBM eServer-class enterprise racks but the company said the technology can help cool off heat issues caused by other servers in the data-centre as well. Every minute, the system circulates eight to 10 gallons of...
Walker said: "Dealing rooms present real problems: in terms of space, in terms of heat and in terms of cooling. As a result, rather than pin-stripes, some City traders are forced to work in shorts due to the heat produced by the air-conditioning...
Inside, eight industry-standard 19-inch, 42-unit racks run down either side of the structurally upgraded container, which is supported by a state-of-the-art cooling system to allow for a very high server density.
Many vendors are pushing high-density racks requiring 20kW and that also entails water cooling. A 2.5MW unit the size of two sea containers is enough to power 800 racks. BT's server density does not exceed 3kW or 4kW per rack, a level where fresh...
Air flows are controlled and directed through the racks to maximise cooling using a mix of laminar and turbulent air flows. The hot air leaving the back of the racks is then exhausted through the hot aisles, which are open to the roof space.
And some mobile operators have been discouraging users from upgrading their handsets unnecessarily. It's not just 'Season's Greetings' that are getting a grilling either, as another piece of research estimated the UK gobbled up enough energy to...
