Whoops, sorry, late to the Backblaze party.

As penance, I offer up this audio podcast by Peter Hricak, senior manager for network and telecoms at LucasFilm, talking about his infrastructure. http://podcast.com/episode/31383457/56837/?cp=1125

Of particular interest to me is their pilot project to bring 480V AC to each rack, rectify it to DC at the rack, and feed 48V DC to each server.
