Quick post today. I came across a blogpost by Doug Mohney at Green Data Center News today. He took aim at a new solution by Alcatel Lucent.

Basically, it's very simple: it concerns a network of piping that transports heat from the racks to the heat sink. Nothing special really. The main problem is that is could well be less green as advertised. Mohney could very well be right about that: installing it might be very energy intensive.

My question to the community is: is he right when he states that less is more? And what would the approach have to be then in design? Or is more technology the key to better DC economy?
