Modular Approach Is Key to Datacenter Design for Sun [19731]
Savings in Power Consumption, Cooling, Real Estate
If reducing 152 datacenters to 14 and 202,000 square feet of real estate to 76,000 isn't sufficiently impressive, then consider that the design of Sun's datacenter in Santa Clara, Calif. saved US$9 million in future construction costs and delivered an 88% reduction in overall real estate costs. Rafael Ruffolo of IT World Canada reports that Sun will also realize savings of at least US$1.1 million in power costs annually while reducing power load by 60%.

Sun's Advanced Datacenter (Santa Clara, CA) [20168]
Hot Isle Containment and Pods Provide Efficience and Flexibility
To run Suns award-winning data centers, a modular design containing many "pods" was implemented to save power and time. The modular design aids the building of any sized datacenter. Inside of each pod, there are 24 racks. Each of these 24 racks has a common cooling system as does every other modular building block. The number of pods is limited by the size of the datacenters. Large and small datacenters can benefit from using the pod approach.
A virtual tour of the datacenter is available.
