CHICAGO — Ductless cooling systems have been chosen by many building owners for maintaining data centers and computer rooms. The ductless units take up very little room and provide the necessary ...

Consider the computer room. It needs more precise cooling than mere mortals - and sometimes bosses are more willing to give into the demands of the data center while telling lowly employees to “tough ...

In the deep, dark past of computing, water was the default means of keeping a computer cool. Now, in the 21 st century, it is making its presence felt again. If you compare the use of water to air as ...

In many circumstances, the most cost-effective means of maintaining an optimum temperature within the data centre is by using natural cooling, or free-air cooling. In the past, when the accepted ...

Yesterday I posted about HP's more energy efficient Dynamic Smart Cooling solution for regulating air flow and temperature of computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units (pictured below) in ...

HP’s latest attack on datacenter inefficiency is the over-provisioning of cooling. It's not that datacenters needlessly bulk up on the computer room air conditioning units (CRAC) strategically ...

As compute density has increased, temperatures have been rising in the data center. Hewlett-Packard Co.’s “Cool Team” is working on innovative ways to dissipate the heat. Lab inventions range from ink ...

A client of mine is relocating their server room and they need to plan for AC in there. I don't know how many servers they have, but what they want from me is a rough estimate of the BTU output of an ...
