Want to go green like Apple, but don't have billions in the bank?

Low density data center

For many businesses the data center does not need to be packed like sardines. Using a larger building for the equipment can allow unchilled air cooling. If the power density is low enough then fan cooling alone can suffice. (Obviously this does not work for most mega data centers but for the size of data center in 5000 employee and smaller companies this can work.)
