Hewlett-Packard opens wind-cooled data center (San Francisco)
Computer and printer maker Hewlett-Packard Co. opened a data center in England that is completely cooled by the wind.
It’s a 360,000-square-foot center planned and started for Electronic Data Systems, the Texas business HP bought in 2008 for $13.9 billion. Data centers, which contain huge numbers of servers and other sensitive gear, require careful temperature control. Four huge fans, nearly 7 feet across, pull in cool air to regulate the climate in the center.
