IDEAL AIR CONDITIONING AND GREEN IT IN THE COMPUTER CENTRE.
Due to the extreme component density per rack and square meter in the computer centre and the enormous amount of heat produced, professional air conditioning plays a relevant role in questions of availability and energy efficiency/green IT. Because a temporary loss of the air conditioning cannot be accepted today, since rising ambient temperatures without functioning air conditioning technology would damage the servers, or force them to shut down within minutes or hours, dependent on the component density.
The challenge consists of finding the most sensible solution in each case for every application. This is to be selected from a nearly unlimited number by possibilities.
Here are some examples:
It's not the possibilities mentioned, but your needs that determine the concept. Not only should the investment be considered, but the holistic TCO needs to be regarded and computed.
