  2. Electricity--Driving the New Economy The electricity consumption of one Electronic Commerce Data Center hosting thousands of servers and high capacity computers = Data Center Six 40 story office buildings Source: Fortune Magazine, 8/14/00

  3. Electricity–More Important Than Ever “The Internet consumed 8 percent of U.S. electric output in 1998, and is responsible for 40 percent of the U.S. load growth over the last 10 years.” -Robert Nardelli, CEO, GE Power Systems “The [demand] battlefield…is in data centers where thousands of servers and other powerful computers are stacked floor to ceiling. A single data center will use as much electricity as six 40-story office buildings. Roughly 20 data centers are currently planned for the Chicago area.” -Fortune (August 14, 2000)

  4. Electricity--Driving the New Economy Silicon Valley companies consume as much power as mini-steel mills--and their use is growing over 7% per building per year A PC and its peripherals boost a home’s electricity consumption 5% The Web’s infrastructure consumes at least twice as much power as desktop hardware The amount of power it takes to create, process or transmit a single bit is cut in half about every 18 months--but the number of bits in play is doubling much faster Source: In Wall St Journal, 9/7/00 Peter Huber (Manhattan Institute); Mills Mark (Competitive Enterprise Institute)

  5. Electricity--Driving the New Economy The average microchip processing plant uses enough power to run 50,000 U.S. homes When you look at the servers and computers that back up a wireless Palm Pilot, you find it has the electrical load equivalent of a refrigerator Oracle has built its own inside the fence power plant and Sun Microsystems and Microsoft are proposing to do so likewise Power quality is key--power disturbances can cause over 17,000 different computer problems, from frozen cursors to a full crash Source: Power Research Institute, 7/11/00 Issue 1873
