1. OpenGate Targets Hot Spots for Switches

   Explore Article Data Center Knowledge (Mar 9 2010) Networking

   Data center cooling specialist Opengate Data Systems today introduced a new cooling product focused on addressing “hot spots” associated with networking equipment. SwitchAir Network Switch Cooling Solutions was developed to provide in-rack cooling support for high-density network switches, which can present cooling challenges as data center operators run their facilities at warmer temperatures to improve energy efficiency. High switch port density has led many data center operators to position network switches facing the rear of rack to simplify network cabling. Due to the high switch port density, intake air typically enters at the sides of the switch chassis and heat ...

   After creating a big buzz about Google Buzz on Tuesday, Google turned around and did it again Wednesday with news of an experimental fiber network. The news of Google offering to deliver 1 gigabit per second via fiber-to-the-home in a small number of trial cities in the U.S. kept the net buzzing all day. This will be their second venture into the last mile connectivity – if you want to count Google TiSP (2007 April Fool’s joke). The plans are to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.

   In the beginning, there were text files. As the Internet evolved, the files moving across the network grew in size – first photos, then videos, then widgets. And now, with virtualization transforming many IT departments, virtual machines loom as the next payload networks must confront. On Monday Cisco Systems (CSCO) will officially introduce a new technology that will make it easier to seamlessly move groups of virtual machines between data centers. Cisco says its Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) solves many of the challenges that have made it difficult to shift large workloads between facilities, potentially opening new frontiers in disaster ...

   I was in Columbia, Missouri in Dec 2009 to discuss data centers as the area is at the center of the US, and there is a shortage of data center inventory compared to other areas. I had a chance to meet the Provost of University of Missouri (Mizzou), Brian Foster, to discuss how GreenM3 could work with Mizzou on data center innovation. The meeting turned out to be one of my best meetings in 2009. Why was Brian Foster so interesting? One of the concepts we discussed is the social networking effect going on in the data center industry and ...

   A new industry group is hoping that the same amount of energy now used to power the Internet and other global networks for one day will eventually power them for three years. Unveiled by its organizer Bell Labs on Monday, the global consortium, dubbed Green Touch, has set a challenging agenda for itself--to plan and demonstrate the necessary technologies to make today's networks 1,000 times more energy efficient than they are today. The group's deadline is 2015, giving it just five years in which to determine and show how to dramatically slash the carbon emissions from all global networks. The ...

    In February HSBC was granted permission to start the building of a new $300 million datacenter in York, England. The proposed 325,000 square-foot campus was planned for completion by the end of 2010, early 2011. But HSBC has dropped plans for the expansion. The York site would've been paired with another datacenter in Yorkshire, but the bank felt that it could fulfill its current data-storage needs with its current network of datacenters. "We have determined that we can meet our foreseeable short and medium-term European business needs with this expanded capacity and through better utilization of our global data center ...

    Twitter, InsideHPC and others are indicating that blade server and storage startup Verari Systems is being shut down today. My calls to the company were answered by a receptionist named Sarah who hung up on me the first time I asked about the company’s fate, and who replied, “I have nothing to say,” before hanging up on me again when I called back. Emails to the company have not been returned. However just 10 days ago Verari said it had been selected to provide its containerized data center products for NASA’s Nebula cloud computing platform.
