Close Coupled Cooling - Liquid Cooling Analysis
 Traditional
computer room cooling systems have become overloaded,
as the trend towards high heat density IT hardware increases.
This has the IT community looking for strategies and
solutions to provide enough power to ensure network
availability while configuring a rack level cooling
system that supports current and next generation technologies.
This white paper focuses on two types
of data center cooling
solutions. Running side-by-side tests and analysis,
the paper reviews the performance of a traditional,
hot aisle/cold aisle data cooling configuration, and
an identical data center configured with a
liquid cooling system.
This White Paper Presents:
- Technology Review
- The three main methods for high density
cooling
- Liquid cooling system configurations, including
closed coupled cooling
- Data center configurations and considerations
for end users
- Analysis and Discussion
- The design parameters, initial cost analysis
and real estate analysis
- The potential savings on energy and real
estate provided by a liquid cooling system
- Calculating power usage factor (PUE)
and
green data center potential
- Deploying energy efficient systems and eligibility
for utility rebates
- Conclusion
- Considerations for
rack level cooling
deployments within an existing data center while
planning for future cooling demands and next
generation technologies
- Deployment of a liquid cooling/closed coupled
cooling system in conjunction with high density
computing products
- Considerations for green data centers, including
cost savings and rebates
- Identifying the data center's "sweet spot"
that balances
data center cooling, computing and power
requirements
