冬天的時候筆記本像火爐一樣暖暖的,其實電腦服務器急需降溫,冬天房屋又亟待供暖。在服務器后面插入輸熱管道,問題不就解決了嗎?這種data furnace堪稱新時代的火爐。
While internet properties like Google and Microsoft are building huge data centers housing thousands of servers, these servers can also be deployed to homes and office buildings and used as a primary heat source.
像谷歌和微軟這樣的網絡公司建立了存有成千上萬服務器的大型數據中心,但是在住宅以及寫字樓中使用的服務器也可成為基本熱源。
These Data Furnaces, which would consist of 40 to 400 CPUs, would be ducted directly into the building’s heating system, providing free heat and hot water. It is estimated that between $280 and $324 can be saved per year in residential areas.
這些包含40—400個中央處理器的“數據火爐”可直接導入建筑物的供熱系統里,免費供熱。在居民區估計每年可以節省280到324美元。
