New Green Data Center Cooled by Wind
When wind and green energy are mentioned these days the first thing that pops to mind are windmills, but Hewlett Packard has found another use for Boreas: data center cooling. In February, the company opened its 360,000-square-foot Wynyard center, located near Billingham in the UK. The facility, which HP says is 40 percent more efficient than conventional data centers, uses the brisk winds off the North Sea to cool the rooms housing its hardware.
