The first section addresses traditional cooling methods, examining them at both the room level and the individual server rack level. The second section explains saving energy methods that
View Details
Close-coupled air conditioning units typically focus cooling on one or more server racks instead of trying to lower the temperature of the entire room. These units are located inside, near, above, or between
View Details
Rack-based systems begin to use dramatically less electricity than room-based systems as rack density goes beyond 6 kW per rack because servers can be added to existing racks, with little additional
View Details
Traditional IT climate systems involve pumping large amounts of cooled air into IT rooms or suites, but as server rack density increases, this more conventional approach is both inefficient and requires a
