"The primary goal of the Google European Data Center Summit held
Tuesday in Zurich is to advance the adoption of well-known best
practices to help make data centers more efficient. The event
showcased some case studies from Google, and also featured many
industry experts discussing various best practices that can reduce
energy usage. The collective recommendations and best practices have
been compiled in this video, narrated by Google Technical Program
Manager Erik Teetzel and featuring other members of the Google data
center team. The video runs 10 minutes, and provides an excellent
executive overview of data center best practices."

My favorite item from this video is the recommendation that data center
"cool aisle" temperatures can safely be as high as 80F. I've long been
running my servers under such a regime, though -- in all honesty -- not
always intentionally during the summer here, where a few years ago the
outside temperature hit 118F in the shade!
