Matt from SearchDataCenter has
posted several videos [1] from his discussions with Microsoft’s Mike Manos at the Uptime Institute Symposium. One provides a
3D “drive through” [1] of an infrastructure model for Microsoft’s new container data center in Chicago, which provides a sense of how tightly packed the containers are.
There’s also a video in which Manos talks about and demos Scry, which is Microsoft’s tool for data center analytics. Check it out at the
Server Specs blog [1]. For moreinformation, see our coverage of
Microsoft’s container initiative [2].
Rich Miller is the founder and editor-in-chief of Data Center Knowledge, and has been reporting on the data center sector since 2000. He has tracked the growing impact of high-density computing on the power and cooling of data centers, and the resulting push for improved energy efficiency in these facilities.
