Blade Watch

A recent study at the University of New Hampshire found that 38 per cent of the U.S.’s power supply was being absorbed by data centres. According to IDC, businesses will need an additional 12 million square feet of data centre space by 2009.

An article about IBM’s new enclosure, it’s lower power footprint in comparison to HP’s, I highlight it mainly because of the quote above, and the general comments made about blade power consumption, very interesting.  At what point do we stop blade buying due to power?
