    Now Where Did I Put Those Tiny Servers … The expo floors at last year’s Gartner Data Center Conference featured the Battle of the Data Center Containers, as the trade show floor was framed by three 40-foot containers from IBM, SGI and HP. But it’s not always easy lugging 30 to 40-ton containers around, and not all trade shows have space to accommodate them. To adapt, vendors are shrinking the container to fit on a table-top.

    Green Attack On Facebook: Unfair, But Could It Help? Facebook has responded to criticism of its data centre strategy - and it seems Greenpeace isn’t being fair. But maybe that’s not the point. The Greenpeace campaign has got legs. The environmental campaigner has asked Facebook to “unfriend” coal, after it signed a long-term power deal with a PacificCorp, a utility that makes the majority of its power from coal. Facebook apparently doesn’t have a public green policy, and Greenpeace says it’s not as green as Yahoo or Google. (Read Full Article)

In a recent blog post, consultant Pallab Chatterjee talks about a recent discussion at the Flash Memory Summit focused on how to build a sustainable “non-commodity” market for flash memory. Solid state drives (SSDs) are the “replacement of choice” for high-performance disk drives. SSDs average 75 percent less power per terabyte than hard drives – less power, means less HVAC, so life is good all around.

    On the GreenBeat: Solar Forecast Sours, 2 Million Smart Meters Installed Nationwide One hot topic right now is the future of the solar market, which is considered over-saturated. One writer, citing a conversation with a venture capitalist, calls this the “sunset of solar venture capital.” Noting analysts’ bearishness on solar going into 2011, the Motley Fool’s Travis Hoium bets on First Solar, but says Trina Solar and Yingli Solar also have a shot at making inroads into the residential and commercial market where SunPower reigns supreme.
