Using only fresh air instead of air-conditioners in datacenter environment seems to a good idea in terms of amount of money saved. ACs consume huge amount of energy in Datacenter environment. Instead piping in fresh air from outside and expelling out hot air can maintain the Intel servers’ temperature between threshold temperatures and thus make drastic savings. Intel carried out this experiment in its datacenter for around 10 months and the failure rates of the Intel servers even didnt affect much. But will the co-orporates take risk and plan to adopt to this new technique for Intel servers? Small datacenters can go ahead and try adopting to this technique where-in big giants can leap in later after the market feedback.
