High-tech companies goes green by going blue
Everybody’s talking about technology companies going green. How about one going blue, as in deep-blue sea?
A new Silicon Valley company, International Data Security, is planning to convert 50 decommissioned cargo ships into floating data centers around the world.
It will use sea water to cool servers, cutting energy costs by 30 percent over traditional storage centers.
The first is expected to be stationed off of San Francisco’s Pier 50 sometime in April, the Ars Technica Web site said. I wonder how one of them would hold up in a hurricane zipping across one of Florida’s ports.
