Not heat related, but do any of these servers you run receive email for the company? My current contract has changed the default ttl on outgoing email to only 1 day, down from the typical 3. Your servers being off for 4 days, may mean a lot of bounced msgs... On 4/29/08, John Hornbuckle <[EMAI

That just really sounds like a bad idea. My goal is to rarely, if ever, shut down a server. Sure, they get rebooted periodically (more than I would like - thanks MS), but for the most part I think it is better for servers to stay powered up and the hard disks spinning for as long as possible. It

I appreciate your green initiative! Are these servers that need to be powered on full time? IE, our accounting server: I have always thought about shutting it off on weekends. It never gets accessed other that 8-5 M-F. Perhaps you could stick some more 24 critical servers in a data center som

Can't you go with shutting down some of the servers with leaving some, say DC's up and online during that time. You could get lower temperatures allowing for a bit more variance in the others. I have had several of my servers operate at near the high end but since they were still relatively new a
