18 A different perspective A single server is responsible for about the same amount of CO2 as a typical automobile driven for a year Usually on 24x7 BUT = Moore's Law Mandates Efficiency Gains Automotive Equivalent Efficiency, 10 year period 163 MPG! 18

19 Reality: Heterogeneous Data Centers Industry Average is Between 4-6kw/cabinet; 30kw Skyscrapers will be Integrated; Must Deal with mixed load environment 19
