They will answer the driving question: Based on a set of criteria and constraints, how do we build and evaluate a water filter that will lead to an
optimized system that meets the needs of clean water
for human use and
consumption?
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).
