_INFRASTRUCTURE LOG
_DAY 25: Our energy costs are staggering! We’re spending more
to power and cool the hardware than we did to buy it in
the first place. We can’t get enough power into our data center.
_It’s too darn hot. Gil moved the entire data center to the
Arctic Circle. This commute is ridiculous.
_DAY 29: I’m taking back control with IBM energy management
solutions. IBM services helped us identify inefficiencies
and change our entire approach to power and cooling. The
IBM System z™ server’s high utilization and unique design is
très cool. We no longer have to feed the never-ending
power appetite of our old, high-density environment. We’ve
moved the data center back where it belongs.
_Gil doesn’t want to hear about it. He says he’s snow deaf.
