Building Next Generation Massive Data Centers

Data center infrastructure design has recently been receiving significant research interest both from academia and industry, in no small part due to the growing importance of data centers in supporting and sustaining the rapidly growing web-based applications including search (e.g., Google, Bing), video content hosting and distribution (e.g., YouTube, NetFlix), social networking (e.g., facebook, twitter), and large-scale computations (e.g., data mining, bioinformatics, indexing).
