When it comes to data center metrics the one most often talked about is square footage. Nobody ever announces that they've built a facility with Y-tons of cooling, or Z-Megawatts. The first metric quoted is X-square feet. Talk to any data center manager however and they'll tell you that floor space is completely irrelevant these days. It only matters to the real estate people. All that matters to the rest of us is power and cooling - Watts per square foot. How much space you have available is nowhere near as important as what you can actually do with it.
If you look at your data center with a fresh eye, where is the waste really happening?

Mark Fricker at RPM Technologies brought this article to our attention. Great insight by Richard Stallman.
I just ran across an article in the Guardian (UK) in which GNU creator (and founder of the Free Software Foundation) Richard Stallman minces no words about the cloud computing phenomenon, calling it a trap. TechRepublic bloggers have written skeptically about the concept, especially where it concerns privacy and security issues, and others have reported on particular cloud initiatives such as those of Google and Amazon.
Stallman's comments to the Guardian go beyond merely skeptical, however: It's stupidity. It's worse than stupidity: it's a marketing hype campaign.

Are leading Internet sites reliable enough? The New York Times examines web downtime today in a front-page story, which focuses on users' growing reliance upon web services. "Now the Web is an irreplaceable part of daily life, and Internet companies have plans to make us even more dependent on it," writes Brad Stone. "The problem is that this ideal requires Web services to be available around the clock - and even the Internet's biggest companies sometimes have trouble making that happen."
