I've been watching the heat control issue carefully since I had to take a job offshore (cough reverse H1B cough) in a place without adequate AC and I was able to get them to ship my servers and some other gear. Then I read Intel is guaranteeing their servers will work up to 100 degrees F ambient temps in the pricing wars to sell servers, he who goes green and saves data center cooling budget will win big since now everyone realizes AC costs more than hardware for server farms. And this is not on new special heat-tolerant gear, I heard they will put this in writing even for their older units. From that I would conclude at least commercial server gear can take a lot more abuse than it gets and still not be affected enough to make components fail because if they did, Intel could not afford to make this guarantee. YMMV of course. I still feel nervous running equipment in this kind of environment but after 3 years of doing that including commodity desktops I haven't seen any abnormal failures. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
