		<description>I had the pleasure of touring the NetApp Data Centers in California and was impressed by the iterative designs they deployed. The first facility was inside a building and had carpet in it - quietest data center I have ever been in. They were using containment there which was effective and relatively low tech. I would call it v 1.0.

Across the street, they had v 1.5 which was the predesessor to this new facility. I was awestruck at the common sense embedded in the design. It was more industrial than what these pictures of the new facility show, but by no means any less impressive. Using dock doors as cold air intakes with simple and effective air filtration to create a cold air plenum was genius. Using the computer room as the hot air plenum and venting the air to the outside via fans and a &#039;chimney&#039; was just brilliant. Cold air was directed to the hallways that had sliding doors on either end where the front of the cabinets were kept cold, with the backs of the racks directing the warm air into the computer room which rose up to vent out the chimney.

Net App - well done! You deserve the rating and the accolades.</description>
