    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.

    Dell Hawks Its New Modular Data Center Dell has been relatively quiet about its modular data-center products, but on Tuesday it showed off a new design it has started selling to large "hyperscale" customers, which include big Internet firms like Microsoft and Facebook. The first modular data centers, including one shown by Dell two years ago, used standard shipping containers to house servers and other IT gear. The containers are sturdy, relatively cheap and highly portable, but some vendors have found them a little inflexible.

    Researchers test energy saving in data centers A consortium of researchers from the public and private sectors have embarked on a real-world experiment to gauge whether large computing facilities can operate on less power if they cut alternating current (AC) out of the equation. At the University of California, San Diego today (Aug. 30), engineers switched a set of servers in a campus data center to operate continuously on 380-volt direct current (DC) as part of a project that allows researchers to track in great detail the energy savings that servers and data centers can hope to achieve through a variety of architectural and procedural efficiencies, including ...

    San Diego Lab Tests DC-Powered Container Researchers at the University of California, San Diego are running several racks of servers using 400 Volt Direct Current (DC) power to analyze how this approach compares with the use of traditional AC power. The project is being conducted in a 20-foot data center container at UCSD, which houses 10 servers whose power supplies have been modified to accept DC power fed to them from a 20kW DC power rectification system made by Emerson, according to DataCenterDynamics.

    Green Data Centres: A Quest For PUE-rity The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric is the de facto measurement when it comes to the efficiency of data centres, but its days could be numbered. The news earlier this month that the UK Environment Agency will be one of the first customers of Capgemini’s new Merlin data centre, which boasts a PUE of just 1.08, is the most recent evidence of the metric’s preeminence – but moves are still afoot to supersede it.

    Facebook: No Plans to Use ARM Servers The explosive growth of Facebook to more than 500 million users has made the social networking company one of the largest purchasers of server hardware, with at least 60,000 servers living in its data centers. Facebook VP of Technical Operations Jonathan Heiliger has sometimes been critical of server vendors’ ability to adapt their products to the needs of huge infrastructures like those at Facebook. In a conference earlier this year, Heiliger identified multi-core server vendors Tilera and SeaMicro as “companies to watch.”
