Full story: SGI Blade Server Goes Green (8-Oct-07)

Engineers at Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI) have developed a high performance blade server cooling system that could dramatically reduce electrical consumption; the goal is to return air to the data centre at a temperature very near ambient. The new cooling system, used on the ICE 8200 blade server, allows less electricity to be consumed and more computing power to be packed into a smaller space, allowing tens of thousands of dollars to be saved in the data centre each year. Engineers believe that this design could be the start of a large trend towards liquid cooling.
