Managing Power and Cooling of your High Density
Applications
The performance and space benefits of high-density
servers are undeniable. However, depending on the server
room, these powerful machines can present significant
infrastructure challenges.
As these new systems have been installed alongside
previous generation systems, they have created hot spots
within the data center that cannot be effectively managed
using traditional approaches. New strategies and technologies
must be implemented to provide the cooling high-density
systems require for reliable operation. But, choosing
the wrong strategy or technology can have devastating
consequences.
Conducting a comprehensive analysis of key data center
conditions can help data center's mitigate the risks
of associated with implementing the wrong high-density
cooling solution.
- What are the current temperatures and humidification
patterns of each existing rack/cabinet, room?
- What is the recirculation patterns within the
room?
- What information can be gathered about the existing
airflow patterns including perforated tile layout
and under floor airflow?
- What is the current power consumption within
the data center, compared to system capacity?
- Are there any limitations to existing power
distribution units?
