Combining the power of the sun, the cooling ability of water, and the use of high-voltage direct current (HVDC), IBM today announced that it has built a highly energy-efficient mainframe that could portend future data centres that consume far less power. IBM has deployed these technologies with its latest generation zEC12 mainframe system that is being run on solar power, water cooling and HVDC technologies – completely off the electric grid.
“We are constantly exploring ways in which we can make our data centres more energy efficient and help reduce the electric cost. We have created the first highly energy-efficient data centre by integrating solar energy together with water cooling and HVDC solutions. This integration has opened up new possibilities in the area of energy efficiencies and is the latest investments made at the India lab to design an efficient and smarter data centre,” said Sandesh Bhat, VP, India Software Labs, IBM India/South Asia.
