Compass Datacenters
Some innovations just have “it.” They seemingly emerge from out of nowhere and then, suddenly, everywhere you turn, there they are. The Cloud is one of those innovations. It’s almost like it’s ubiquitous. The other day my mom, for Pete’s sake, asked me what I thought about it. Hey, I’m in the data center business so naturally, like you, I love the Cloud. At least that’s what I say in public (and to my mom). Honestly though, isn’t the Cloud becoming a little like that kid in school that the teachers loved because they knew all the answers, that we pretended to like but secretly wanted to beat the snot out of at recess?

Open Compute Project
Deploying OCP Hardware in a Co-Located Facility
Most companies lease space in data centers instead of building their own; this isn’t news to anyone in this space. But what might be news is that leasing space isn’t a barrier to deploying highly efficient Open Compute Project servers. In fact, there are two ways you can use OCP hardware in a co-lo:
• Deploy servers in Open Racks
• Retrofit 19 racks to accommodate OCP servers.

IBM’s Meyerson: 7 to 9 nm Chips is Low as You can Go
October 20, 2012 11:09:35 AM CDT
Over at The Register, Dan Olds writes that integrated circuits can’t continue to shrink forever.
So where’s the end of the line? According to Bernie: 7 to 9 nanometers. When the features on a chip get to this minute size, you start to see quantum mechanics effects that are “very nasty” that impairs the performance of the processor’s decision-making gates.
