An interesting read though the paper has all the details if you are somewhat of a techie.

One thing the researchers don’t say is whether it is better to put the batteries inside the server or inside the rack. I can see pluses and minuses of both options.

Google and others have suggested distributing the centralized batteries for better UPS reliability and saving AC/DC conversion loss. This seems to suggest that we can save cost too by decreasing the power supply (KWs) needed. Nice also that savings get better with better server efficiency. How could we access the details of paper?
