Data centers share energy tips

Leaders in charge of big data centers including the U.S. Postal Service, Yahoo, Oracle and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will convene in Silicon Valley this week to present case studies documenting their experiences with technologies and practices for improving energy efficiency.
