It might seem like an oxymoron at first, but I assure you, there won’t be an ox (and certainly not a moron) in the following story. This is about a new data center built by IBM for GIB-Services, which uses innovative technology to heat a local public swimming pool. And they’re doing this by recycling the warm air the air conditioners in the vicinity. Pretty neat, and certainly helps all that precious warm air from going to waste.
In reality, the data center is a secure data storage facility that GIB will use to support its clients in Switzerland. However, they wanted to try something new and thus, this new energy-efficient and “green” data center was made in collaboration with IBM.
I’m not sure how many people would be thrilled by the fact that this data center has the ability to heat a public swimming pool (about 40? 50?) but I’m sure there will be more uses for this technology in the future. Because like a Christmas gift from a bitter ex, it’s the thought that counts.
