| Sun Microsystems to Build Underground Data Centers in Japan |
|
|
|
Tokyo, Nov 14, 2007 (JCN) - U.S. computer maker Sun Microsystems Inc. and 11 other entities on Wednesday launched a project to build power-saving underground data centers in Japan.
For the project, Sun Microsystems will offer its Project Blackbox method using shipping containers.
Specifically, data centers comprising 10,000 server computers will be built into 30 shipping containers for installation 100 meters below ground at a former mine. The location of the site was not disclosed for security reasons.
Construction costs are estimated at 45 billion yen. The consortium, which also includes Internet Initiative Japan Inc. <3774>, NTT Communications Corp. and Chuo University, plans to start operating the data centers in April 2010.
As temperatures at the underground site will stay at 15 degrees Celsius all year, air conditioning systems will not be necessary while groundwater can be used to cool the servers.
About one billion yen of electricity costs will thus be saved annually, according to the consortium.
The consortium hopes to win orders from both the public and private sectors for data storage services using the container-type data centers.
