  "This whitepaper follows an earlier whitepaper released in May 2011,
   "2011 Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments - Expanded
   Data Center Classes and Usage Guidance," which addresses air cooling
   in data centers and created new data center environmental classes
   which expanded the opportunity for chiller-less data centers

 2011/08/24、＠IT
  http://www.atmarkit.co.jp/news/201108/24/dell.html

  "　デルは8月24日、事業者や企業のデータセンターにおける外気冷却への
   取り組みを支援するため、同社の法人向けIT機器の保証でカバーする
   温度範囲を拡大したと日本で発表した。1機種に限定したものでなく、
   同社の複数の既存サーバ、ストレージ、スイッチなどに適用される。

   　具体的には、年間の合計稼働時間のうち、10％までを室温5～40℃、
   湿度5～85％、1％までを室温-5～45℃、湿度5～90％、そして残りの時間を
   10～35℃、湿度10～80％の範囲で動かす場合、これがデルの製品保証範囲に
   含まれるというもの。常時45℃の稼働を保証するというものではない。
   目的が外気冷却の活用支援だからだ。"

よく調べたら、このレポートが以下の記事等の、Googleが 900.000台のサーバを
導入している根拠となっています。

  "A report from data center energy expert Jonathan Koomey, published
   on Monday morning, gave a rare glimpse into some educated estimates

   yielding total electricity use by data centers in 2010 of about 1.3%

  "This IBM Redpaper publication can help your IT organization as

   it begins the journey to becoming a smarter data center. IBM wants

   to help others, particularly our clients, to chart a course to reap

   the benefits of lower costs and improved sustainability that running

   a green data center can provide. Understanding what is possible can

   speed your journey to an optimized smarter data center with

   sustainability designed into both the IT and facilities

   infrastructures. Although this paper is not all inclusive, it provides

   a quick start for going green in data centers. It also provides

   additional pointers and information. You can use this paper as

   a guide to becoming more energy efficient."
