Abstract
The survey is a valuable reader for data centre managers wishing to speedily
review the array of technologies, available and under development, designed to
reduce power consumption and cooling requirements. The short survey reveals
that on balance there are more options likely to occur in cooling than in
power.
Cooling technologies are more focused on applications that can be installed
directly in the data centre. Air, liquid, gas and new nano-cooling
developments suggest that thus far, a definitive or optimal solution has not
yet fully emerged and there is no outstanding leader. For operational
managers, identifying an interim solution appears to be the best that can be
achieved.
Power supply is in contrast an issue that will be solved more probably by
large energy companies although innovative solutions particularly using solar
power have been attempted by data centres themselves. Photovoltaic or PV for
short, for example, appears to show much promise. Wind power and fuel cell
technologies also each have compelling arguments for their adoption in the
data centre but the drawback remains the level of investment required.
It appears that at a time when oil prices have reached peaks previously
unknown, we are at a point on the continuum where demand for power in the data
centre is also coincidentally at unprecedented levels. Facility owners will
not reach an equilibrium in costs until assured solutions have been fully
commercialised and that may still be some years away.
In the meantime, this survey provides clear evidence of the research and
development effort underway by both industry and academia to identify ways
forward in resolving the two most critical challenges confronting an industry
charged with reducing its consumption and costs.
