What is a “green datacenter?” Can we make the IT infrastructure we use more environmentally sound?
Maybe, but… it's a challenging problem because fundamentally running servers uses power.
We went into how data centers use power with an eye to making them more efficient. But that’s only part of the story. We discussed ways to incent people to give up resources, CPU cycles, and idle servers. Those are the items that really help with savings.
Ultimately, building a next generation infrastructure is more about the behaviors of the users as the efficiency of the equipment. In that case, what's holding us back?
