The article reports on the move of small vendors to look on components that will lessen the amount of heat generated inside servers and the amount of power they consumed in the U.S. It is that to alleviate the dilemma, OnScreen Technologies Inc. has addressed the microwarming or overheating problem that occurred inside the servers with scientific and interdisciplinary approach called WayCool. The WayCool approach is designed to decrease the server's temperature and energy consumption while boosting performance in cost-effective and efficient way. Accordingly, the WayCool approach will also enable to replace the metal panel that is inside the blade servers, making it a compact, and space-saving approach to cooling.

The article provides information on how to reduce energy consumption while making data centers more energy-efficient in the U.S. According to the authors, the idea is to look at the data center as a holistic system by understanding how the system like the Central Processing Unit (CPU) used cooling and networks and consumes energy. Meanwhile, the Department of Energy has pledged to work with the alliance to develop a Web site so that data center administrators that can easily be access as well as to implement energy management programs.
