How and Why Mission-Critical Cooling Systems Differ From Common Air Conditioners

Overview Today's technology rooms require precise, stable environments in order for sensitive electronics to operate optimally. Standard comfort air conditioning is ill suited for technology rooms, leading to system shutdowns and component failures.
