Nowadays, people all over the word advocate the green technology, including the green data center. New technology is needed to Make the data center green and ensure the working efficiency. The electricity failure is rare in the data center, but many emergencies may make the server break down. For example, when the cooling system is being defended or the device is updating against the high temperature, the server will turn off automatically at some temperature. And then many chain repercussions will be caused.

It is no doubt that the losses of one stop are enormous. One stop of the center may have an evil influence on the entire corporation. The electricity failure in Florida of wiki makes people all over the world unable to log in, which is not the first time to have such a problem. If the data center of commercial website stops suddenly, thousands of the trading will stop. Thus the consequences will be grave.

Purdue College has come up a solution, using the hardware of internal server and the Linux operating system to solve the problem. In order to make the server work under the high temperature, the move speed will slow down. When the temperature is normal, the move speed will recover. This method just likes the power saving plan of the laptop battery. This method is able to avoid the losses brought by the data center failure. Experts in this college have used this technology in its data center to test the performance of this technology. They found out that the server could work well when the cooling system was stopping, although the move speed was slow; when the cooling system was recovering, the server could work as before.

This technology is widely used by many colleges nowadays. The alarm time of the temperature transducer is less than before. Besides, the power consumption is also less than before. Every manager who works on the centers will feel the advantages of this technology, although there are so many problems need to be solved. If the data center stops, the loss can not be retrieved. In order to make the data center green and safe, operators should grasp this technology better. The related integrated circuit is BCM88130.
