Reading this news, probably not wondering how much it cost electricity needed to view it. It turns out that considerable money at stake.
Browsing the Internet, writing e-mails or blog, or talks with friends at GG and Skype does not wonder how much electricity we consume in that time. Incoming monthly electric bill pay without much reflection. It turns out however that the servers through a virtual world where there are major consumer of electricity.
American magazine U.S. Infrastructure decided to count the power consumption, which is needed for the functioning of the Internet. The presented results do not reflect the full situation, because they come from in 2005, but allow you to imagine the overall picture. During the period 2000-2005 energy consumption in this sector has doubled.
During the investigation, there were over 27.3 million servers work, and each consumed an average of 251 watts of electricity. Standard server room consumes 40 times more electricity than ordinary office building.
Energy consumed enough to endow approximately 5.8 million households, that many, if located in Massachusetts. In 2006, the IT server consume 1.5 percent of all energy consumed in the United States. It is worth stressing that they need more electricity than all U.S. televisions.
Account of what they received, amounts to 2.7 billion dollars. Global consumption of electricity, in turn, costing 7.2 billion dollars. Because since then has made a kind of revolution in the form of even social networking sites (and generally speaking the development of Web 2.0), can be expected that there are currently issued each year the sum is much greater. There is no indication that this will change.
Today, however, increasingly become popular designs, so that the energy used by data centers is re-used. How even to warm the water in the basin in the Swiss Uitikon, where she is IBM's server room.
