Is a Zero-Watt Solution Worth the Wait?
Today's businesses move at a rapid pace. Datacenters need to keep up with that pace. However, a datacenter will use up energy to instantaneously access a file. SGI proposes that waiting a few seconds can save thousands of watts of power. Read more...
Earth Day Special: Making Datacenters Greener
Datacenters consume 94.8 billion pounds of CO2 every year. Half of a datacenter's power goes to cooling. To celebrate Earth Day, Fusion-io created an infographic to share ways datacenter energy consumption can be reduced through the use of flash instead of disk.Read more...
Earth Day Special: 10 Reasons Why You'll be Buried Alive
The United States has more trash than any other country in the world, throwing away over 500 billion pounds of garbage every year. As an Earth Day special for Green Computing Report, the infographic below details how Americans distribute their trash.Read more...
Using Software to Make Datacenters Greener
It’s no secret that supercomputers require a lot of energy to run. Organizations have tried using different cooling methods to keep the cost of running a datacenter down, while Adaptive Computing is going about things a different way, with workload management software.Read more...
Could Datacenters Go Natural?
As organizations continue to research cheaper and more efficient ways to power and cool their datacenters, TeraCool has hit on a method that could achieve both for free. The organization is proposing that datacenters be located near natural gas plants, which could provide a center’s cooling and power for nothing.Read more...
Put that Old Data in Cold Storage
Digital data creation is exploding faster than a YouTube viral video. With emerging markets joining the networked world and with the spectacular growth in stored data, there’s a new demand for ways to store both old and new data. Read more...
