IT Handbook: Energy Efficient Cooling

Industry research has shown that after IT equipment, a data center’s cooling system is the largest energy consumer. The irony of this is that many data center managers have no real visibility into their cooling system’s effectiveness or efficiency.

This expert handbook explains how to set up a data center cooling monitoring system, while looking at how increasing server inlet temperatures can optimize cooling efficiency and outlines methods for building hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment systems. Download now to explore detailed criteria for selecting and implementing economizers in your data center.

  • Green initiatives are delivering disappointing ROIs for today's data centers

    Since controlling power consumption represents a significant expenditure of time, money, and effort, data center managers need to consider all power reduction solutions at their disposal – from flywheels to eco-mode UPS systems to other efficient alternatives. 

    This expert handbook will help guide you through the decision-making process of “greening the data center”. Readers will learn how these methods—along with others—help to provide a smaller footprint while still allowing for higher power density.

  • Data center facilities management: Are you close to total failure?

    With all of the advancements that happen inside of your data center, it's easy to forget to update facilities management strategy. Here's the thing: overheated servers and cooling failures are worse than power failures.

    You need to keep track of your data center's physical needs, and there is a good chance that you are using outdated metrics.

    This e-guide will help you re-evaluate your data center's physical metrics and update your facilities management strategy.
