  • A new approach for planning, operating and optimizing your data center

    Data centers have never been more vital or central to business operations, yet they need to be ever more efficient, resilient and flexible. Thermal systems have a special role in achieving these requirements. They consume significant power, and, as mechanical systems, experience many more planned maintenance events and unplanned failures than other critical infrastructure. These planned and unplanned events have significant, but often poorly understood impact on data center assets and operations. In this session, we will introduce: - The Cooling Chain - The ability to map any asset, including IT, workloads and users, onto cooling units - The downstream impact of cooling failure or maintenance events - Strategies for aligning thermal capacity with workload demand, both in planning and real-time operations Join this webinar featuring the presentation made at the July DCD: Keeping IT Cool Event
