冬天的时候笔记本像火炉一样暖暖的,其实电脑服务器急需降温,冬天房屋又亟待供暖。在服务器后面插入输热管道,问题不就解决了吗?这种data furnace堪称新时代的火炉。
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.
像谷歌和微软这样的网络公司建立了存有成千上万服务器的大型数据中心,但是在住宅以及写字楼中使用的服务器也可成为基本热源。
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.
这些包含40—400个中央处理器的“数据火炉”可直接导入建筑物的供热系统里,免费供热。在居民区估计每年可以节省280到324美元。
