Very interesting slideshow. Is there any more details? I'm particularly interested in the "Servers get unwired".

Facebook's Prineville, Ore. facilities manager worked on a Bluetooth link to report stats from an individual server.
But a more ambitious effort--that won the prize--worked on a sensor network to report details from many servers. I have no other info on it, though.
