Are you a troll? I operate my fiber internet, IP cams, wifi, and a small server at home from an off-grid DIY solar setup ( http://d.pr/i/QcNA/2SYnWLOx ). Running servers on a massive scale without an electrical grid is not realistic.

You'll get a lot of naysayers and so-called "industry professionals" mocking the idea, but yes -- you can have an entire hosting infrastructure that uses absolutely no electricity whatsoever. It's actually quite common, usually among smaller / fly-by-night hosts.
The technical term is "down".▐█▌Fresh Roasted Hosting :: High-performance Harrisburg web hosting since 2012!

It's easy enough to setup once you have all the components to the system but you need to spec out your appliances for instance during a power outage you might wish to use a Raspberry PI instead of your 350w computer which would of course save you energy and might mean you could have a less beefy system.
However for the sake of this thread its impossible to operate without electric.Last edited by Server Management; 09-04-2014 at 09:01 PM.
