September 19, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center solutions provider Sun Microsystems (sun.com) announced on Friday it will be hosting the AFCOM Northern California Chapter (afcomnorcal.org) meeting on September 24 at its Santa Clara, California campus.
The roundtable forum will gather data center operators and owners to discuss openly the future of data center energy efficiency. Dean Nelson, Sun’s director of global lab and data center design services, will open the event at 9:15 a.m. with a discussion on the Chill Off project, a multi-year study on modular cooling systems.
A roundtable discussion about the issues will follow, which will open the discussion up to audience participants.
Following the discussion at around 1 p.m., participants will be able to go on a tour of Sun’s energy efficient Santa Clara data center. The Santa Clara campus has been used in the past for other industry events, most recently in June with The Silicon Valley Leadership Group’s first annual Data Center Energy Summit 2008, where Nelson presented in two sessions.
Nelson posted a blog entry about the event with additional detail on the Chill Off project.
He has also created a LinkedIn group called Datacenter Pulse to help facilitate discussion within the data center community. The group is hoping to reach its goal of 1,000 members by the end of the year. Last week, Sun Microsystems released the source code for its hypervisor-based virtualization products while also expanding its collaboration with Microsoft by becoming a member of its server certification program.
