The Green Data Center

by Travis 19. December 2008 16:16
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept of a "data center", you are not alone. A data center is a facility that is used to house computers and computer related components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. These centers also often contain backup power supplies, environmental controls (ie: air conditioning, fire suppression systems), and security devices. Essentially, data centers provide a reliable infrastructure for the IT operations of a business or operation. So how in the world do you make something that sounds so complicated as green as possible? Just ask Fox Architects, an innovative architectural firm based out of St. Louis, Missouri. One of Fox Architects' projects involves the Green Data Center, which brings "technology and ecology into productive balance". The eco-friendly design of these data centers lead to more efficient operations, improved employee productivity, reduced energy use, and measurable results. Fox Architects' experience with Green Data Centers involves two LEED-registered projects for Fortune 500 companies, Monsanto Company and Emerson.
