Clarkson University and Partners Test Eco-Friendly Data Storage

Clarkson University and partners Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) announced a research project that is designed to try and implement eco-friendly technology in order to power data centers.

The user will see no difference between the old data processor and the new one. The only difference is that its power will come from both wind and solar energy. This can be seen as a result of the industry wide goal of using renewable energy to power data centers. Clarkson students will experiment effectively managing data on the renewable energy data centers.

Other investors include AWS TruePower of Albany, GE Global ResearchGE Global Research in Niskayuna, and Ioxus of Oneonta.
