Wind Powered Datacenter: Indiana, Heather M. Brotherton Jun 2011

Wind Powered Datacenter: Indiana, Heather M. Brotherton

Heather M Brotherton

This paper will investigate the feasibility of co-locating data centers on Indiana wind farms. Strategic long-term planning including combining clean energy, information technology, and efficient data center design could allow Indiana to emerge as an information technology service leader. There are economic advantages to locating a data center in Indiana. The cost of living in Indiana is low in comparison places such as California with high concentrations of data centers. This in turn means a lower cost workforce. Many less costly areas of the United States lack skilled workers to staff data centers. This is not the case in Indiana. …
