Using Cloud Server Power to Heat Homes
Datacentres are wasteful and expensive. More than half of the cost goes to building and infrastructure. Almost half of the energy consumption is wasted on overhead and all the heat generated by the servers is a waste product. One way to solve these problems might be by taking servers out of the datacentre and putting them in buildings, and now in homes with so-called eRadiators. Click talks to Florian Schneider from Nerdalize.
