Eco Factor: Energy-saving data center relies on energy-efficient servers and on-site power generation.
Syracuse University has announced the development of the Green Data Center, which has been built with partners IBM and New York State. The $12.4 million, 12,000-square-foot data center, dubbed the Green Data Center, is designed to be one of the greenest data centers in the world, with an expected energy savings of up to 50%.
The center will make use of on-site power generation systems for electricity, heating and cooling and will make use of IBM’s energy-efficient servers and computer-cooling technology, which collectively will help the data center run on just half the amount of energy consumed by conventional data centers.
