Description

Data Centers today are a close attempt to build for a need that is only as far as 2 years out. The trending for high density environments is causing a paradigm shift in the way Data Center designers and Colocation Vendors are implementing the next generation support infrastructure for the Internet. This presentation will review power and cooling technologies available today and in the future to support the Internet. Additionally a 15 minute Google Earth tour of Large Internet Exchange Points will explain the reasoning for choosing locations in North America and Europe.
