Data center cooling solutions

As the scale and performance demands for today’s data centers continues to increase, so does the need for superior data center cooling. Computing creates heat. Data centers, which are filled with servers, generate lots of heat. Excessive heat can cause hot spots that lead to equipment failure and downtime. To remove this heat and avoid downtime, IT teams use a variety of data center cooling methods. It’s like air conditioners for computer rooms.

The Path to Cost-efficient Data Center Cooling

Data center cooling is eating up IT budgets. Around 40% (1) of a data center’s energy consumption comes from cooling. Fortunately, a new generation of data center cooling technology is keeping energy costs down while enhancing reliability.

There are numerous ways to cool a data center. In fact, our white paper compares 13 methods, and can help you find the best option for cooling your data center. One method is to use precision, in-row cooling units that are placed very close to the source of heat. Recent innovations make it possible to reduce energy consumption to create this cold air. Air economizers bring in cold air from outdoors and send it through HVAC systems to the computer room. Another promising approach is to use cold water from the ocean. Methods like this are helping data center professionals achieve cooling solutions that meet their IT objectives. Learn how we can help you achieve a healthy data center environment with our flexible, integrated cooling solutions.
