Panorama intéressant sur le green data mais j’espérer plus de contenu technique/exemple en terme d’installation autre que les bases de l’IT. Ayant un profil de technicien cvc de maintenance je pensai voir des solutions pour réduire concrètement la consommation de son datacenter et voir d’autre solution que les installations classique d’aujourd’hui en vue du respect du décret bac. Des solutions de refroidissement de boucle d’eau glacée. Des synoptique électrique
