It would seem that the false economy of the tinkertoy server may finally be getting some visibility.
The global buzzword of the day is 'carbon footprint'. TCO in terms of energy, materials, etc that result directly or indirectly in carbon being released into the environment. Gonna be interesting how this shakes out. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 2:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Power Capacity Planning (was Slightly off topic power limits) >Imagine, if you can, the hair-pulling and teeth gnashing if the little-server >boys had to jump through the same hoops! They're going to have to, eventually. In today's economic climate, power is becoming a limited commodity. We had a problem, a few years ago, where HP was not able to deliver servers as fast as we needed them (to the point of downtime and missed/failed orders). Is this any different than no more wattage available? The end result can/will be the same! - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
