How Data Center Cooling Works and Its Importance
Anyone working on a laptop or desktop platform knows how hot the equipment is. With server rooms involving aisles of computing machines, that issue is significant. This is why keeping servers cool is crucial for larger businesses. So, this article will explain how data center cooling works and its importance to the business world.
4 Ways to Improve Data Center Efficiency
In the past, data centers have been designed for capacity, performance, and reliability and often at the expense of efficiency. With the rising standards of energy efficiency, it’s essential to know just how your unit can function most effectively. According to a recent study, data centers are estimated to consume around 2% of all power
What You Should Know About the New Data Center Efficiency Standards
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has published the final version of its data center efficiency standard, recognizing that data centers’ unique characteristics mean that it’s difficult to measure them by the same set of standards as other building types. The standard, named ASHRAE 90.4, was designed to ensure that the
How You Can Prepare For The R-22 Phase-Out
Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) have been regulated as class I or class II controlled substances by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Class I substances, which have higher ozone depletion potential, have been completely phased out in the U.S., with a few exceptions. Class II substances are all transitional substitutes for many class I substances, and are
The Latest In Data Center Cooling: The Liebert CRAC Unit
Energy savings are extremely challenging to achieve in a large data centers. With high-powered, intricate machinery constantly outputting heat energy, an efficient cooling system is a necessary priority for such an environment. Fortunately, Emerson Network Power has recently introduced an enhanced, chilled water-based air conditioning unit specifically for computer rooms. The Liebert CRAC unit provides
Improve IT Energy Efficiency, Manage Data Center Cooling Costs
Business owners and commercial facility managers are constantly trying to curb energy costs and save money. It is a constant struggle. Data center cooling alone accounts for 37%-40% of a building’s total energy use. So decision makers are always on the lookout for new ways to manage these costs and improve IT energy efficiency. Better
Data Center Cooling Issues and Prevention
Did you know that in most data centers cooling accounts for around 37-40% of total electricity use? According to Consortium of Energy Efficiency, a Preventive Maintenance program can cut that energy use by as much as 20%. Regular, planned maintenance can also help prevent costly repairs and even costlier downtime. According to a 2011 study
