IBM is trying to do for data centres what McDonald’s did for hamburgers and fries – turn the making of them into an efficient manufacturing process.
There won’t be an assembly line serving up IT facilities. But what IBM says it will do as part of a new initiative announced Wednesday under its Project Big Green energy efficiency program is offer a standardised approach designed to speed construction of data centres and reduce operational costs.IBM said it will follow a set of best-practices guidelines in designing data centres for customers, and do so in such a way that companies can gradually expand facilities while still matching power and cooling needs to the IT equipment installed them.
