Abstract With installed footprints growing rapidly, data centers are requiring larger percentages of total utility capacities (electricity, water and sewer) internationally, as well as becoming a larger percentage of companies’ costs. In this talk, Noteboom will compare different generations of internet data centers and demonstrate the successful progression of improved efficiencies in each, as well as presenting current challenges and goals going forward. He will also demonstrate the process of building data centers that cost less from both a capital and operational standpoint – all while saving utilities, lessening environmental impact and delivering more processing power per watt. |
