Datacentre design and facilities: What you need to know
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: eGuide
Uptime, availability and performance are three critical considerations for any datacentre operator, which is why – when it comes to designing their facilities – so many rely on tried and trusted approaches.
But pursuing a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” strategy within the datacentre only gets you so far, which is why it is so important to ensure operators keep an open mind about adopting new technologies and design best practice to maximise the performance and efficiency of their sites.
For instance, while fresh air-cooling is the norm for many datacentres, there are emerging use cases for expanding the use of liquid cooling within server farms to make it easier to regulate the temperature of kit carrying out far more compute-intensive tasks.
In this e-guide, we take a look at some of the latest thinking and trends around datacentre design, while shining a light on the differing approaches organisations take to ensure their server farms remain up and running, and can withstand all the compute demands expected of them.

Tailor-made refrigeration system on tap for Ter Dolen Brewery
By: Honeywell
Type: Case Study
Since Ter Dolen Brewery’s inception in 1994, the fermentation tanks and the pasteurizer have been cooled via an on-site refrigeration plant. However, as the cooling system aged, it began to affect refrigeration output, particularly on hot days. In addition, the air intake was positioned too close to the wall for optimal cooling.
The result? Mounting maintenance costs and, critically, a barrier to the owners’ plans to increase production capacity.
Ter Dolen went back to the drawing board, this time selecting an ultra-low global-warming-potential (GWP) Honeywell Solstice refrigerant tailor-made for the brewer’s heritage-listed premises.
The result? Read their case study to find out in full.

AI disruption: Data center design for new workloads guidance
By: Schneider Electric
Type: eBook
This 15-page eBook examines AI's impact on data center design.
Key insights: AI workloads will account for 15-20% of data center energy use by 2028. AI training necessitates high rack power densities of 20-100+ kW, challenging conventional design in power, cooling, and software tools. Recommendations include adopting 240/415V distribution and liquid cooling for over 20kW/rack, plus larger, sturdier racks for AI hardware.
Dive into the eBook for a comprehensive analysis of AI's influence on data center design and strategies for managing AI workloads.
