Sustainability in the Age of Information
Eric Fulton
With the dawn of the information age has come the age of the datacenter. Hundreds of giant temperature controlled power hungry datacenters run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 265 days a year. Many were hurriedly built during the height of the dot com boom with little thought to sustainability. The architects of today’s datacenters, however, have an opportunity to save both money and the environment utilizing new methods and technologies. The presentation “Sustainability in the Age of Information” will highlight current non-sustainable practices within datacenters, current trends in building datacenters, and why building a sustainable datacenter is both economic and environmentally responsible.
