Yahoo Opens ' chicken Coop ' Green Data Center

Yahoo opens data center in upstate New York using radical new design to reduce energy consumption by 40%, the company said Monday.
Datacenter in Lockport, near Niagara Falls, is almost totally cool external air that blows through the halls of long data centre to keep server hardware, cool.
Therefore, data center cooling is not required to provide the cold water for cooling, avoiding one of the most energy-intensive units in the Centre of traditional data.
Information broadcasts will be carried out primarily by hydroelectric power from the local utility, New York Office. Yahoo says it's greenest data center, he built.
There are three halls of the datacenter gives Central operations center, with two more rooms under construction. Located at an angle to the wind and the long and narrow to air flow easily through them.They are a bit like a giant chicken coops, hence the name design: Yahoo computing collaboration.
CEO Carol bartz opens data center ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday morning, the New York Governor David Paterson and U.S. Senator Charles Schumer.
Their presence shows how important data points.U.s. Department of energy have Yahoo provide 9.9 million $ to the price of the property to THE DOE wants best practice energy in data centers, a growing share of energy USA-1.5 four years ago and probably has increased since then.
"Over the past 60 years data centers have always been the niche that does not grow very much, they are very expensive and slow to build. This major shift data center transformation in high-performance data, "said Scott Noteboom, Vice President of Yahoo for data center engineering and operations
Yahoo also opens operations center in New York and said he would create 125 full-time.
Despite the reduction of environmental impact, not all altruistic motives for Yahoo.Through the creation of a data center, which uses only 10% of its cooling capacity--compared to half of some other data centers--Yahoo can dramatically slash their electricity.
It is also steps up to compete with Google and Microsoft are trying to outdo each other with a more effective projects.Yahoo says its Datacenter has PUE (power usage effectiveness) 1.08, as compared to average around 1.9.
PUE shows how much total energy on site goes directly to the it equipment and other types of cooling.«2.0 is only half the energy IT tackles meal and Sep. 0 would mean it is.
Design is similar to the one that Hewlett-Packard launched recently built for large customers.Yahoo has applied for patents on its design, layout, and how air is distributed in the rooms. "There are a lot of people chasing patents in data center design, says Noteboom.
Objects like HP and Yahoo '' s faster to create than traditional data centers you built from factory made parts which are collected on the site Yahoo expects. two additional rooms on site Lockport in six months, compared with 12 to 18 months for the traditional data centre, says Noteboom.
The total area of approximately 36 000 square feet, or enough to House 50 000 servers site may ultimately support 100 000 severs added additional halls, said Noteboom.
Datacenter runs services Yahoo Mail, messages, and Flickr.
A cheaper to build a centre of traditional data, said Cristina page [cq] Director of Yahoo's energy and climate change strategy. "There is an assumption that green is worth more to build, but a lot of these assumptions are not always correctly, "she said.
Servers inside are "off the shelf" products are standard rack, but Yahoo also experiment with own design server during the days when the weather is too hot to cool fresh air Datacenter will use evaporation cooling system. "We may use the fresh air of the vast majority of the year, "said Noteboom.
Yahoo does not say how much it pays for hydroelectric power plants, but said it is wrong to believe that renewable energy is always worth more than power from coal-fired power plants.
Construction that can be carefully controlled, as data center in a shipping container, but on a larger scale of temperature and air. "I computing collaboration Yahoo is just a container anymore, "said Noteboom.
