  • IBM Partners With Walt Disney On Eco-friendly Datacentre


    03 February, 2010, by ITProPortal Staff

    IBM Corp. in collaboration with Walt Disney has unleashed a resource-efficient datacentre which is being exhibited at the Big Blue’s “Smarter Planet” exposition at the Walt Disney’s EPCOT Theme Centre Park in Florida, according to the Datacenter Journal.

    The idea behind the initiative is to let people realise how modern technology has impacted their lives, even in spheres pertaining to routine activities. The company has put its signature modular datacentre in the exhibition and has more power than what is required to run the exhibit.

    In a bid to showcase the notion of energy efficient planet, the surplus power produced by the datacentre is passed on to the World Computing Grid where it would be used for a range of purposes.

    The EPCOT Theme Park, which has largely been associated with the exhibition of video gaming and other such related content, is now portraying a vision of Smarter Planet

    It shows how technology would play a pivotal role in tackling myriad of modern day’s problems, like road traffic congestion, substandard local water supplies, as well as city crime.
