Report of the Integrated Design Charrette
The report details a whole-systems approach to data center design, focusing on reducing 'native loads' (CPUs and servers) to create compounding energy savings upstream in cooling and power systems. It proposes a 'Hyperserver' concept that reduces power from 128W to 21W, advocates for liquid cooling to replace inefficient fans, and recommends onsite AC power generation with the utility grid as backup. The document argues that current industry incentives, such as charging by square footage, are perverse and should be replaced by metrics based on power density and actual lifecycle costs.
