Hmm this seems like a pretty shrewd move to save some cash.
HP said the consolidation will help it reduce its IT spending by about $1 billion in coming years. The facilities in Atlanta, Houston and Austin, Texas, also will serve as a showcase for HP's adaptive infrastructure products and services.
HP has designed its new facilities to be "lights out" data centers, capable of being managed remotely. HP also is implementing smart cooling technologies that optimize airflow for cooling of the data centers, leading to utility cost savings of up to 25 percent.
That seems pretty state of the art to remotely control an entire massive building like that. I guess it is possible with today's technology but it still feels like something out of Star Trek or some other Sci Fi deal.
