Cutting edge data centers of the future will require less of a physical human presence, and are likely to: â $ cents Rely on a VIL to optimize equipment management and provide for virtual remote control capable of instant changes, switches and adds â $ cents Achieve LEED certification for the physical building â $ cents Rely on more efficient
water cooling that potentially takes advantage of an on - site tower to chill
water for cooling the system (thus reducing energy consumption by using nature's natural cooling power to chill
water) â $ cents Use fluid dynamics models to precisely design the interior of the building to maximize the efficiency of the HV / AC system for air - cooled computing systems â $ cents Tap into a mixed energy grid that relies on green energy sources such as solar, wind or hydroelectric (depending on geographic feasibility), along with a reliable city grid thus avoiding the need for the standard back - up Uninterruptible Power Supply (which will reduce equipment costs,
minimize floor space used, and increase energy efficiency because systems that employ a UPS convert AC to DC and back, incurring substantial energy
losses).
More material is recycled in shallow
water and less sinks to depth, which makes sense if you consider how this ecosystem has evolved in a way to
minimize loss», said Lutz.
Key Achievements • Saved the entire livestock from Mad Cow Disease by quickly determining which animal had the disease and isolating it on time • Implemented a system to sound alarms 50 minutes before the onset of a inclement weather, making it easy to put preventative measures in place • Introduced a sophisticated irrigation system which saved
water by 50 % in comparison to the original irrigation system • Harvested 95 % of the crop despite extreme weather conditions,
