IBM H2O Servers

April 23rd, 2008

Now this is really a cool project (in every sense of the word):

Before the sun sets on another Earth Day (or at least before the clock strikes midnight) IBM has squeezed in its announcement of some very cool servers designed for cloud computing. No, they’re actually cool, the iDataPlex servers run at room temperature, which means they require less less air conditioning. IBM doesn’t say what room temperature is, but the servers will use water to cool the servers much like IBM is pushing water to cool microprocessors in its Hydro-Cluster supercomputer.
