That’s what I read on Nicholas Carr’s Blog.
Nick said Glovia will likely be one of the new data center’s customers. The company recently announced a SaaS version of its ERP software, which will run on T-Systems’ utility computing infrastructure.
I wasn’t able to find specific details on the data center launch. But I did come across…
* A “Dynamic IT Infrastructure” page on T-Systems’ website. (Jacksonville isn’t shown on the company’s location map just yet.)
* A job posting dated last week for Sales Director, Enterprise Services in Atlanta and Jacksonville.
* A 2004 PDF from IBM about a joint utility computing showcase. The demo ran on an IBM BladeCenter with 6 blades: 2 were used as management servers for running the grid and provisioning resources, and 4 were reserved for applications. Failover was controlled via Tivoli.
Nick mentioned that the Jacksonville data center – T-Systems’ first in the US – will officially open next month. Stay tuned!
In other news, John Rath linked to this Data Center Journal article about the world’s highest density data center (500 Watts/SF). It’s designed by CH2M Hill and located in Denver.
