In a data center with a raised floor, air-conditioned cold air is often delivered to each rack through channels under the floor. However as the cold air is delivered to a remote rack, airflow is reduced. Raised floors are often laid with cables and pipes that hinder the delivery of cold air and result in
In my previous article, we have discussed the various cooling strategies such as room, row, rack & hybrid cooling. One of the question that you may have left behind is, which one is best for your scenario. While the answer is completely depending on your data center infrastructure designs. Let us compare room, row and
A data center must continuously operate at peak efficiency in order to maintain the business functions it supports and to decrease operational expenses. In this environment, heat has the potential to create significant downtime, and therefore must be removed from the space. In addition to heat, the control of humidity in Information Technology environments is essential to
Whenever electrical power is being consumed in an Information Technology (IT) room or data center, heat is being generated. In the Data Center Environment, heat has the potential to create significant downtime, and therefore must be removed from the space. Data Center and IT room heat removal is one of the most essential yet least
Modern data center equipment racks can produce very concentrated heat loads. In facilities of all sizes, from a small data center supporting office buildings to dedicated enterprise/co-location facilities, designing to achieve precise control of the airflow through the room that collects and removes equipment waste heat has a significant impact on energy efficiency and equipment
The importance of energy efficiency in today’s data centers has grown significantly and has become more complex in recent years. To maintain high data availability, all components of the data center infrastructure must perform the assigned tasks to avoid any data center downtime requiring appropriate energy support. The technical infrastructure is fundamental to all information
We have seen multiple ways to distribute the cold/hot air within the white space area. According to TIA 942-B, the “Cabinets and racks shall be arranged in an alternating pattern, with fronts of cabinets/racks facing each other in a row to create “hot” and “cold” aisles.”. In the previous article, we have seen different ways to distribute/return the air
In my previous article, we have seen multiple ways to generate cold air and pull out the hot air. But all these things were showing only the supply/return until the white space. Have you ever wondered how this airflow is managed effectively inside the white space area? If this is not managed properly all your efforts for
The high-density deployments of modern data centers have intensive power demands, but much of that power doesn’t actually go to the servers and computing equipment itself. Instead, it goes to the cooling equipment that prevents those systems from overheating. Data Center cooling refers to collective equipment, tools, techniques and processes that ensure an idle operating
