2008.02.18 NANOG 42 datacenter efficiencies panel notes

> 1MW datacenter takes 177millino kwh over its life.

This doesn't seem right

1,000 kw * 24 h * 30 d = 720,000 kw-hrs/mo

177,000,000 / 720,000 = 245 months = 20 years

Lot of datacenters last 20 years?

Very interesting otherwise, I am very sorry I missed it. I'd love to be part
of the next panel.

NANOG should focus more on this, as datacenter dynamics (and all the fun
stuff to go along with it) is much more of an issue than how to put a 10g
wave on dark fiber.
