The only way to solve this in the long run is to address the source of the problem (instead of making use of extra heat or improving efficiency) and make the Data Centers actually run on clean power.
Iceland has the uniqueness of having a 100% reneable electricity power grid (probably the only country?) and there are several Data Center projects ongoing making use of that such as Verne Global.
On top of this infrastructure there is also a startup building what will be the first Truly Green Cloud Computing IaaS service called GreenQloud which actually I am working on.
