Apple's proposed 18-megawatt photovoltaic solar farm will power servers running in its Northern Nevada data center
The improbable story of the data center saved by a fuel bucket brigade is not told with fondness, even if there is a sense of pride and humor in its retelling.
Building solar voltaic cells from nanowires instead of standard metal conductors can increase the amount of energy that can be captured by a factor of 15, according to a new study by scientists from the Nano-Science Center in Denmark.
There's a maxim in the data center business that you can't manage what you can't measure, and eBay has come up with a new measurement for doing both.
