"This [problem] is one that cannot be ignored," Balog says. "I think water cooling provides part of the answer. I wouldn't say we're looking at it as the only answer."

The third big trend is hyper consolidation, driven by server virtualization and a predicted move toward "consolidating servers, workstations and network devices into an integrated blade environment."

Blades and virtualization are both becoming more popular, and complement each other well, Blade.org says.

"Blades in the data center will evolve to a hyper-consolidated model through virtual appliances in which all discrete servers, firewalls and other network devices will be consolidated into the blade chassis," VMware chief platform architect Richard Brunner says in a press release.
