With the concerns surrounding data center power usage growing, we invited Winston Saunders, director of data center power initiatives from Intel (@WinstonOnEnergy) and Kathrin Winkler, vice president and chief sustainability officer from EMC (@KathrinRWinkler) to stop by and talk. They discuss issues on how to make servers and data centers more efficient (innovations in water cooling and biogas electricity generation), then move into a fascinating discussion on the intersection of social, environmental and economic issues surrounding data centers.
