Green Grid techie gathering update (in case you couldn't be there)

For those of you who couldn't attend the Green Grid Technical Forum this week in San Francisco, here's a useful link to some of the presentations and white papers that were debated on the opening day of the conference.

I already know that some of this stuff is pretty controversial, especially the position that the Green Grid has taken about the use of Direct Current power in the data center, which is an issue that I've started doing some research on this week. Sadly, the group's new peer review of a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Study on Direct Current in the Data Center is one of the reports that The Green Grid has chosen NOT to make public at this link yet.

Nonethless, here's some background information on the work that Lawrence Berkeley is doing. Hmmm. Can you smell controversy? Anyway, watch this space for updates on Direct Current Options as I get deeper information on what's going on.
