In Roundup: Google’s Broadband Experiment:
"Many are watching out for this new Google news. I don't know if I want <a rev="vote for" title="Google Broadband will be 100 times faster, says Google Inc." href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/02/10/google-broadband-100-times-faster-google/ ">Google Broadband</a> to work out or not. Granted, Google does offer some very competitive services. I allow that Google Broadband will probably be faster than other broadband services, and likely at prices that won't send the average person running for payday loans for decent internet. What I object to is the fact that Google is slowly revealing itself to actually be Skynet, and will become self aware very soon and will then unleash Google Terminators upon the Earth and begin the robot apocalypse."

"It's not so simple to make a excellent written essay, first of all if you are engaged. I recommend you to set <a href=" http://www.qualityessay.com">buy essay</a> and to be devoid from distrust that your work will be done by writing service"

"I am looking for advise. I am working with 2 start up companies that are pushing alternative energy and energy efficiency products.
I have a product that is added to the refrigerant in a cooloing system. The additive can reduce the systems demand on the energy grid by increasing the efficieny of the system by at least 10% and in most cases far more.
I am writing to get exposure and generate business, yes; but I also feel that this product can only have a positive effect toward the greening of the data center. Imagine if all of the data centers in operation to day could reduce energy consumption by 10 - 25% within one week.

In The Trade off between reliability and efficiency - by Peter Judge:
"I'm mot sure Uptime "measures" reliability, as that's scientifically difficult - watch the center for a thousand years and measure how much downtime it has? - it's more assessing the reliability according to specific best practices.
Efficiency is easier to measure, and they didn't say how that will be measured. " -

In Dummies for Green IT --By Doug Mohney:
"Thanks for an interesting link. Electronic copies probably are more green, especially on shipping costs, but they are a lot less readable.
I see that Green IT for Dummies - by a team including analyst Carol Baroudi of the Aberdeen Group - is available in the UK from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Dummies-Carol-Baroudi/dp/0470386886/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258966320&sr=8-1">Amazon</a>.
Another book worth looking for - which has a free electronic version - is <a href="http://www.withouthotair.com/">"Without Hot Air"</a> by Daivd McKay. It's just on green energy, not IT, but puts things into context better than anything else I've seen.
By the way, this is not the only Green IT for Dummies on the planet. Hewlett-Packard produced one, with the Wiley "Dummies" packaging, which is available free <a href="http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdesign/greenit4dummies.html">here</a>. The HP version is only 30 pages long, with content produced by David Tebbutt and other analysts from Freeform Dynamics.

In SEC Scrutinizing Proximity Colo Business:
"We can simple understand the cause of global crisis. Yet, we can't bear its effects, isn't it? Admit it or not, all of us are having hard time to recover from this disaster. It is possible to make money in the stock market – duh; why do you think Warren Buffet is so rich? However, the average dividends from stock market investments is something on the order of the low teens, on average (about 12% give or take) but they are a vital part of any investment portfolio. Given market volatility, you want to "watch the basket" so to speak – buy low, sell high, although that's common sense. It's also a good idea to maintain a diverse spread in order to minimize risks, and therefore be able to make <a rev="vote for" title="How to Earn Money in the Stock Market" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/Personal-Loans/money-Loans/money-Now/"><strong>money</strong></a> off of any investment you have in the stock market – and obviously, skip any IPOs on an underwater basket weaving company.

In A new energy currency- by tate cantrell:
"There is a definitive need to create extra funds, or to cut spending, and one of the ways people save is to cut insurance cost spending. Granted, it's a gamble to cut insurance cost spending, but frankly flood insurance in Arizona isn't a great idea. Tornado insurance in the Pacific Northwest might be a waste as well. (Although there are extremely rare, but documented, instances of tornados in the Evergreen State.) It is a gamble, though, because everyone does need insurance coverage of some sort. Whether it's insuring your house, car, or your health, to <a rev="vote for" title="Is Cutting Back on Insurance A Good Way to Find Debt Relief?" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/10/14/cut-insurance-cost-debt-relief/ ">cut insurance cost</a> and/or coverage is a risky thing to do, whether it's done with debt relief in mind or not."

In How Low Can you go with your CO2? By Tate Cantrell:
Reply PermalinkOn 10/14/09 dimension85 said:
"The situation is interesting, the potential of failure to obtain agreement in Copenhagen does exist and this could cause a vacuum.
However, the reality of the situation is much more than is carbon going to continue as a currency as it is effectively becoming in the cap and trade systems that Kyoto has spawned.
If action is not taken the energy supply is going to become a real issue for companies and they may be able to address this with reduced carbon emmissions as a by product of their actions.
The <a href="http://dimension85.com/EN/eu-code-of-conduct.html" target="blank">EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency</a> is specifically aimed at the strategic management of energy consumption and if applied should have the benefit of reducing CO2e.
The interesting thing at present is that this is an EU driven initiative that is currently a voluntary scheme. But irrespective of Copenhagen and the machinations of world politics, the EU can enforce their initiative through a formal directive if energy security is, as they currently believe, is threatened.

wwe in Mexico are finishing a Mexican Standard (Norma mexicana) that is considering
Governance (ISO, ITIL, SOX, and so on)
Sustaintability (IMEI, LEED, PUE, DCIE, and so on) and
High Performance (vgr. Virtualization, cloud computing, blades, etc.)
Architecture (location, construction,...)
Energy (alternative, cogeneration, disttibution, quality....)
Cooling (active/passive -liquid, ac-)
ITS (cabling, rack/cabintes, pathways....)
Security (access, alarms, cctv,....)
Safety (detection & supression)
it will be ready early 2010 following all ISO & Mexico development steps fullfilled

In Who Has the Most Web Servers?:
"I don't think the number of servers matters the most. It is always the PUE that tells the real energy consumption. And it is easy to calculate, as there are plenty free tools online. This one from 42u.com is quite good (http://www.42u.com/efficiency/energy-efficiency-calculator.htm), or just google “data center efficiency calculator”."
