The investments total about $100 million, offset somewhat by funds recouped from the closing of an older facility. The new building is expected to open with 700 racks of server computers. The power consumed by each rack costs more than the amortized cost of the computers themselves. The bank expects a 12% return on discounted cash flows.","PeriodicalId":319003,"journal":{"name":"ERPN: Case Studies (Sub-Topic)","volume":"1006 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116243049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
