The Advantages of Row and Rack-Oriented Cooling Architectures for Data Centers
Latest generation high density and variable density IT equipment create conditions that traditional data center room cooling was never intended to address, resulting in cooling systems that are inefficient, unpredictable, and low in power density. This paper contrasts room, row, and rack architectures and shows why row-oriented cooling will emerge as the preferred solution for most next gen data centers.
Deploying High-Density Zones in a Low-Density Data Center
New breakthroughs in power and cooling technology allow for a simple and rapid deployment of self-contained high density zones within an existing or new low density data center. The independence of these high density zones allows for predictable and reliable operation of high density equipment. Guidance on planning design, implementation, and predictable operation of high density zones is provided.
Virtualization: Optimized Power and Cooling to Maximize Benefits
Data centers are routinely and unknowingly missing a great portion of their entitlement from virtualization. Beyond virtualization's undisputed IT benefits is the parallel story of a substantial benefit from optimizing the physical infrastructure that supports it. In particular, row-based cooling, correctly sized power and cooling, and real-time capacity management - essential elements in realizing virtualization's full potential.
