Tending the Machines « The Signal: Digital Preservation
The computers that store and serve our digital collections are multiplying
rapidly to keep up with our escalating data demands. All the while the
servers guzzle power, radiate heat, crowd bandwidth and exert an
unprecedented burden on the power grid. During these tough economic times,
as institutions scrutinize their operations for budget-trimming
opportunities, they must evaluate their data centers for effectiveness and
waste. In a recent
story<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/20/technology/us-to-close-800-computer-data-centers.html?_r=1>,
the Federal government announced its plans to close 800 of its data centers
to help reduce its energy budget. The encouraging news is that modern
advances in data-center technology lean toward cost savings and energy
efficiency.
