Abstract
High-density server facilities have quickly become a widespread reality. Not only are they adding nearly 1 GW to the US economy load, but many of these major data centers are using this increase in power in a way that exceeds all market expectations. Past predictions for high-density servers racks in the year 2006 showed loads in the neighborhood of 8 KW, but today's reality shows it is in the magnitude of 300% higher-and in some case even more, racks of 35 KW are installed and commissioned. Why are we so far ahead of the forecast for needed energy? Power-hungry processors and super-charged servers
