Yahoo is going green with Server warehouses in Upstate New York. Located near Niagra Falls in Lockport New York. The buildings use efficient ways to cool the up to 50,000 servers that will be stored there. They received a 9.9 million dollar grant from the government for using green technologies.
The buildings will use three green techniques to make the job of cooling the servers more efficient, making them up to 40 percent more efficient than other data centers.
The design of the buildings are built in a way to catch the wind as it passes over the roof. This gives the buildings a ‘chicken coop’ design. Solar panels are going to be installed to provide electricity for the IT gear. The most used part of cooling a data center is water. The buildings structural design will eliminate the water cooling needs. Also a refrigerant is being developed for use in server buildings.
