    Dutch get serious about data center efficiency

    A Dutch research organization currently developing a road surface that can incorporate solar cells is driving a government-led initiative that could bring some major changes to the way data centers consume energy. Data center infrastructure management (DCIM), fuel cells and generators that will be used for more than just back up are some of the initial areas being investigated for development into a pilot project. The TNO Flexiquest project was designed to help the Netherlands overcome key chall

    1. You could do something where you communicate to the end user of the data center – the IT user – that the supply of energy is short in local leads, which will lead to an increase in energy price.
