Comment Between 10 and 20 years ago designers and architects made assumptions about the use of office space and people's working practices. Those estimates were translated into energy densities in the design of air conditioning and the square metre space...

Comment Yes, I've given them away to save space, but they still do what they originally did really well. Comments came flying in on this, some cheering for the winner, while some were a little miffed their favourite didn't feature on the poll… And from old...

Comment In many companies the facilities management department simply divides the utility bill among departments based on a formula such as square footage of office space. The research focused on how companies are coping with complexity in the data centre...

Comment And in each case the operational attributes have been in some way advantageous for some niche application or information space, but nothing could be held in overall superiority. Written at home on a wet evening and dispatched to silicon.com via...

Comment They also occupy more physical space than any of us can really afford. There are many theories about how one technology or brand wins the global market over another. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it often largely comes down to fashion.

Round-Up But if your immediate response was actually, 'And about bloody time, too', then you'll be delighted to hear that the space agencies have an unfeasibly good business reason for this lunar plan: the moon will most likely be partly colonised by 2020...

Round-Up In a deafening cacophony of ringtones that could be heard from outer space (and underwater), handset vendors, mobile operators, developers and journalists descended on Barcelona for a state of the nation address this week at the Mobile World...

Comment Not early enough, however, to claim a space on the main floor. It's day one proper of the Congress and the queues just got tails. Long tails. I arrive at the Fira early to struggle through the be-suited throng and get my seat at the big name keynotes.

Comment Predicting your processing needs and the resulting space, power and cooling demands over a three-year period is near to impossible. Multinationals have led the way in outsourcing their data centres to specialised third parties.

Comment Yeah, it's a very competitive space. For years, Microsoft's Bill Gates has been trumpeting software's ascent from the lowly PC to everything from mobile phones to home entertainment. No doubt, that move is already taking place.
[08 Jan 2008]
Comment And while superficially the problem might appear to be a simple competition for space, it is of course far more complex. The competition for antenna space on our laptops and mobile devices is getting critical.

Round-Up Revellers on the 600ft Space Needle enjoying a fireworks extravaganza to mark the new year were left disappointed when the entire display ground to a halt. In January 2007, Microsoft underwhelmed the world with the public launch of Windows Vista.

Comment Our representative data centre provides 30,000sq ft of floor space and hosts 3,000 servers of varying type, form factor and operating system. That just leaves the problem of calculating power consumption, as Stewart Baines reports.

Round-Up A space we currently occupy quite happily with Windows Mobile. Our competitors seem to be pretty focused on mobile devices space. Redmond, Seattle. A screen saver of a roaring log fire flickers on a huge LCD monitor perched on a wide expanse of...

Comment Only giant corporations could afford the 100T computers that consumed kilowatts of power and acres of floor space. Every year of my life seems to have been challenging for one reason or another. But I have always been able to stay ahead of the game...

Comment Let's say I have a floor of office space, with 15 individual PCs and some personal printers, some networking devices and so on, and I want to see the energy usage across all that floor plan. But how easy is it to come up with a baseline and why...

Comment The most challenging things for any organisation these days are power and space. Now that doesn't affect my business model because I'm not a supplier of power and although we do run data centres for people, it's not a general proposition of ours to...

Comment The hot air leaving the back of the racks is then exhausted through the hot aisles, which are open to the roof space. Because the hot aisles are not remixing the hot air back into the data centre itself, the air can be exhausted at a far higher...

Leader Looking down the 50 names, in this brief space it is worth highlighting a few key trends and the individuals who often personify them. Fair? What do you think? Zuckerberg continues a trend that has - by a nose - seen a new face top the poll for...
