There are some very interesting developments going on with the development of Data Centers. The EPA has contacted EDS as well as other companies to determine how best to run a Data Center. But there is a very interesting dynamic going on here.Companies are interested in running more efficient data centers as a profile and loss activity in order to remain cost competitive. However, for an organization that is both corporate facing and government facing it gets a little complicated.
I anticipate that the EPA will create "guidelines" that you will see in future government procurements around environmental performance of a Contractor Operated data centers. Companies who operate large data centers and have government customers would be wise to help the EPA with their study and shape the future EPA procurement requirements in their favor.
