Chicago Data Center Project Moves Ahead
Plans for a 315,000 square-foot data center facility on Chicago’s Near South Side are moving forward, with city approval clearing the way for design and construction. The development team has set a goal of fall 2010 to begin construction, with a potential completion date of late 2011. The six-story building will be 315,000 square feet, with 143,000 square feet of raised floor … [Read more...]
Researchers Cool Down Supercomputers with Warm Water
A team of IBM researchers in Switzerland is experimenting with a micro network of copper tubes that run through smaller, clustered computer servers and whisk away heat with the help of warm water. Liquid cooling, even with warm water, is 4,000 times more effective than air cooling at removing heat, they say. Researchers from IBM and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in … [Read more...]
