:)... I am seeing this kind of discussion first time here :) Well being a B.E Electronics .... I can say ... high voltage generally means less current. Current is basically the phenomena which causes heating and it's the consumption of current which is measured to bill the subscribers. However, for any particular machine, it can not be said consuming high voltage means it would be consuming less current or less POWER :) ... it can only be determined checking out the machines power requirement.
Brook... your company may be charging you mainly for converting your regular 110 V supply to 220V. Obviously, in my country no one would charge for this because we have 220V regularly available :) Best of luck with your venture (Y) Regards, Arsalan -------------------------------------------------- From: "Russ Michaels" <r...@michaels.me.uk> Sent: Friday, September 17, 2010 3:01 AM To: "cf-talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Subject: Re: Vmware and CF 8+ > > Greg, more powerful servers use more juice, generate more heat and have a > bigger carbon footprint, ask any data centre or google will garnish more > details for you. > > HTH > > On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 7:04 PM, Rick Faircloth > <r...@whitestonemedia.com>wrote: > >> >> Mercy...
