Consider the IBM Power Systems, formerly known as the IBM System i, AS/400 and eServer iSeries.
The systems in these product lines are intended to be in use indefinitely with a completely compatible upgrade path. The operating systems and the software used on these servers are based on an architecture that has been in continuous use since 1979, the System/38, and the software that runs on these systems has been in use even earlier than that.
The word "install" is not a noun.
This is the new name of Losetheos.
(As in, "Lose the Operating System").

Wow, if the figures projected by this article turn out to be true in the real world, I stand corrected.
However, since my own home has a load-management cutoff switch for my water heater to reduce load on peak days, I have a doubt how successful it will be in actual real-world situations.
If your hot water heater, dryer, and stove run continuously for any extended amount of time, then you've got to call your electrician.
None of these appliances is going to run a full 4- to 6-hour duty cycle. Try it. Even your stove doesn't run continuously when you turn it on. Do you even own an electric stove or water heater?
And distribution vs. transmission is not a big difference for my argument. It cannot now handle the load.
The dryer, stove, AC, hot water heater, and other appliances do not pull full continuous load for several hours at a time. The electric car charging port *does*.
And your quoted article doesn't say anything about what that load might be, just that it is "increasing."
And, please, try re-read my post more carefully. I am talking about the power distribution grid and not power generation.
No. The homes can handle the power load, but the power grid cannot. You can't have a large proportion of houses in the neighborhood pulling 40 amps at 240VAC continuously for four to six hours every night at the same time.
There are dozens of companies developing home storage for electric vehicles because of this. It's a serious logistical problem.
The goal wasn't really to store energy for the house. The actual goal is to store energy to recharge your electric vehicle quickly and without overloading your local power grid.
The use of energy in the house is an added-on benefit and makes it more appealing to buyers. Some might also call this a "gimmick."
It's too bad he feels this way:

For many server workloads, processor speed has not increased enough to justify the retirement of certain server lines. Many of us who also provide server support to Development and QA teams need to deal with retired and end-of-life products. Consider the broad selection of perfectly serviceable HP blade enclosures and really affordable blades in the aftermarket. With 220 volt supply and a storage unit you can cheaply provide 16 hosts in a 10U space to your teams.
The US Navy are the most intelligent people in all of the United States armed forces. If they tried to accomplish an important national goal, and didn't fully succeed, then they very well should be listened to.
These people are not slackers. They are the real deal. If they're having trouble, the "cloud" industry needs to listen to them.
