Faced with the prospect once again of significantly higher energy prices coming to our region, we want to start to look at better and more efficient ways to cool our colocation facility. Right now we have several ton of traditional air conditioning units sucking up electricity like its free.

I've seen some designs that actually use water as the transport and many-finned radiators at each end. Radiator transfer heat into cold water inside which is pumped up a radiator in the sub-zero temps on the roof and exchanged and then looped back. Same basic principle as a traditional

There are indoor units that have multiple coil sets. One can be utilized for mechanical cooling, the other can be used for free cooling mechanisms. For example, a water loop can be implemented that rejects its heat via a roof-top evaporative tower. (e.g. the big BAC boxes you see steaming

The backbone at the time of my original work that I participated in was 40Gits/in and 40Gbits/out unless that has changed 10GigE is not practical or cost effective if it is limited to local area's and provate connections. That doesn't mean from A design perspective thatA cost effective solution

At the risk of over simplifying this. 1) Deploying anything 4x faster than what you need is not cost-effective, ever. Even deploying GE where 2xFE would work is more expensive. 2a) If (again, thinking IXes here) you are offloading most of your locally sourced traffic to peers at an IX,
