At a time when data center design projects have slowed
IBM is flaunting its most recent design projects that are spanning
the globe. First, in Syracuse, New York IBM is breaking ground on
a new 6,000 square foot data center on the campus of Syracuse University.
The new data center is being built with the goal of using 50% less
energy than existing facilities.
Today's data center operator is very aware of energy efficiency
and cost savings and this announcement is sure to catch some attention.
This by the way is IBM's plan.
The new facility in Syracuse will have its own co-generation power
system that will be provided by gas fueled micorturbine engines.
The heat generated by the power plant will be sued to provide heat
for other campus buildings.
The facility will contain water-cooled racks. Yes, water in the
data center! The racks and servers will be provided with sensors
that will help the automated system to provide cooling only to servers
that need it and thus preventing energy waste.
