From what we have seen, granted we do visit newer state of the art data centers, there has been a wave of integrating new <a href="http://www.alphapointtechnology.com/" rel="nofollow">data center management</a> software into new and existing data storage facilities. It doesn't necessarily make the old computers better, but it certainly enhances their efficiency and can extend their lifecycle by a few years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177909642897624355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-6816589165883473772012-11-01T10:57:27.876-04:002012-11-01T10:57:27.876-04:00It's a matter of the dramatic transformation o...It's a matter of the dramatic transformation of what's inside those boxes, Carmi.<br /><br />We ought to recycle our plastic, for sure, but one of them sell-phone thinghies all you kids have now has more computing power than all those boxes together.<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-12181727483269791422012-11-01T09:08:51.331-04:002012-11-01T09:08:51.331-04:00I think there's way too much disposability in ...I think there's way too much disposability in today's world. Those computer cases, for example, could have been built so that changing out their insides is easy. I know that computers have become more svelte and that a rack of servers can hold far more computing power than could a rack full of these, but at least the school could sell the cases used to somebody if they were easily upgradeable. I don't mean easy for a computer nerd (like me). I mean easy for the average user.<br /><br />What an awful waste of materials these cases turn out to be.Markhttp://blog.markwill.com/noreply@blogger.com
