米Yahoo!、水力&省エネ、世界でもっともグリーンでエネルギー効率のいいデーターセンター建設計画を発表
Yahoo!がニューヨークの電力公社がナイアガラの滝に保有する水力発電所より大部分の電力の供給を受け、最新式の空冷装置を導入した鳥小屋のようなユニークな外観のデーターセンターを建設すると発表しました。水力という再生可能なエネルギーと最新の高い効率の省エネシステムを取り入れることで、”もっともグリーンで、エネルギー効率の高い”データーセンターとなるということです。運用開始は、2011年からの予定。
・Serving up greener data centers-----Yodel Anecdotal, June 30th, 2009
" This morning, at a press conference in Buffalo, New York, with New York Governor David Paterson and Senator Chuck Schumer, we took another big step forward in addressing climate change. We announced plans to build one of the greenest, most energy-efficient data centers in the world.
..........
Here’s what makes us so proud of our future New York data center plans. First, it will be powered by one of the cleanest utilities in the country ? fed predominantly by renewable hydroelectric power from Niagara Falls. And second, a record 90% of that energy will power the servers. To put that in context, the industry average is 50% or lower, with the other half dedicated mostly to keeping the servers cool.

he following quotes were provided in support of the Yahoo! announcement:Congressman Brian Higgins said: “Western New York’s access to hydropower makes this announcement possible and this region’s future hinges on our ability to see much greater benefits from this unique resource moving forward. Our lake, that feeds our river, that drives the Niagara power plant, holds great potential to replicate economic development and job success stories like this in Western New York again and again, but to do this we must be given the opportunity to reclaim what is naturally ours.”
