EU promotes "green" cloud computing technology development

The EU-funded European http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13792.html > Cloud Server Research Project (Eurocloud) has yielded important results. The project has a total investment of 5.4 million euros, of which the EU grants € 3.3 million for three years. A team of researchers from the UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Finland and Cyprus developed a special 3D microchip that can dramatically reduce the amount of power and installation costs of cloud computing data center servers through low-power micro-processing technology. Initial test data show that the server using the chip reduces energy consumption by 90% compared to conventional servers, reduces the cost of billions of euros for data center users, and enables more European companies to invest in building data centers. The research results further strengthen the EU's pre-eminence in the field of "green" computing.

Cloud computing data centers tend to bring together thousands of computer servers, covering an area as large as a football field and consuming about 40,000 households. The role of data centers is critical and is the basis for a revolutionary service of cloud computing. such as: Facebook, Google e-mail services, mobile applications, such as new consumer service models and customer databases, such as new models of business services are inseparable from the cloud Computing data center. Neelie, vice chairman and digital Agenda member of the European Commission, said: "In the long run, today's power-consuming cloud computing centers are unsustainable and the" European cloud "chip technology solves the core problem of energy consumption. The EU needs to further develop the "European cloud" chip technology to strengthen European companies in the "green" cloud computing sector leading position.
