Energy Star for Servers Arrives – And It’s Flawed

Data Center cooling is the push right now through Intel. Intel has proven that over two thirds of the energy of the cooling system for Centers can be saved just by cooling with outside air, all dependent on geographic location, having written a white paper on this. I was a participant is this project. All of the tight requirements on the humidity control are now "old school" and with the increased allowable humidity range (see each computer manufacturer's specs), Intel showed that servers can be run at up to 90F inlet temperature and very low humidity without detrimental effects. NO MORE EXPENSIVE DATA CENTERS!!

World's Biggest WiMax Bet

You are missing the advantanges. I know little of LTE, but I know this, that all is COST COST COST of operation. With Cellular, their max range per tower is around 7 miles. With WiMax the max range is approximately 50 miles. Less towers equals less cost of operation, therefore cheaper service. Also, as it matures, WiMax is capable of 70 Mb data transfer rate. What can LTE do? Most of the time, in my experience, first to market wins and sets the standard. Alvarion is deploying WiMax throughout the earth. Where is LTE? Clearwire is opening markets all the time. There are over 1000 WiMax towers up and running already. Better start doing more research.
