Is Greener Code the Answer to Greener Data Centers?
There are plenty of opportunities to cut data center energy consumption, just ask Bill Weihl, Google’s (s GOOG) Green Energy Czar. Like Google, the tech industry has been making big strides in boosting efficiency by exploiting those opportunities and re-thinking their approaches to data center cooling and IT hardware. But a new aspect of data center energy use is getting increasing attention latel
Why Google and Grid Net Should Team Up On the Smart Grid – Old GigaOm
Here’s two unconventional players that could make an influential but unusual team in terms of open standards and innovation for the smart grid: Google (s GOOG) and software maker Grid Net. OK, hear me out. As Grid Net’s new Chief Strategy Officer Andres Carvallo told me last week, Grid Net is looking to build an ecosystem around its vision of a real time, 100-percent Internet Protocol, secure, rel
Google Releases API for Energy Tool PowerMeter – Old GigaOm
Another small step for empowered and open access to energy data. Search engine giant Google (s GOOG) announced on Wednesday that it has released the API (application programming interface) for its energy tool PowerMeter. Opening up the API means that gadget makers can now freely integrate with PowerMeter — previously Google had only been working with a small amount of select device manufacturers f
Microsoft Hohm to Connect with Devices this Summer, One Day Offer Its Own? – Old GigaOm
By this summer you can expect to find the first energy devices — smart meters, energy management dashboards, connected thermostats — that can link with Microsoft’s (s MSFT) online energy management tool Hohm. Troy Batterberry, Microsoft’s product unit manager of its Energy Management & Home Automation division, told us in an interview on Tuesday that Microsoft has just released the software develo
Your Bad Code Is Killing My Planet – Old GigaOm
Written by Alistair Croll, vice president of product management and co-founder of Coradiant Virtualization and on-demand computing are giving companies new reasons to worry about code efficiency. Once upon a time, lousy coding didn’t matter. Coder Joel and I could write the same app, and while mine might have consumed 50 percent of the machine’s CPU whereas his could have consumed a mere 10 percen
Google Can Now Buy & Sell Energy, What Next? – Old GigaOm
When word broke last month that Google (s GOOG) had created a subsidiary called “Google Energy,” which was looking to buy and sell electricity on federally regulated wholesale markets, the Internet and energy industries alike were confounded. If Google got approved to buy and sell energy, what exactly would the search engine do? Well, the issue is no longer one of speculation — the U.S. Federal En
The Green Data Center Strategies of Web Giants – Old GigaOm
As ethereal as the terms “web services” and “cloud computing” sound, there’s nothing lightweight about the power and cooling required to make the Internet run. It takes data centers, plain and simple — each running 24/7 and housing thousands of servers and data storage systems – to satisfy our growing appetite to tweet all day long, watch the Olympics streamed online, and Skype our friends across
Google Slowly Adding Users for Energy Tool PowerMeter – Old GigaOm
It’s still early days for Google’s web-based energy tool PowerMeter. A company spokesperson told us today that Google has “a few thousand users at this point” for PowerMeter. That’s pretty small, but it’s enough to enable Google to start using the collective energy consumption data to make recommendations for how its users can reduce their energy use (see their blog post this week). It’s been abou
