Ten Solutions to Solving Cooling Problems Caused by High Density Server Deployment

Overview The requirement to deploy high-density servers within single racks is presenting data center managers with a challenge. Vendors are now designing servers that will demand up to 20kW of cooling if installed in a single rack. With most data centers designed to cool an average of no more than 2kW per rack, some innovative cooling strategies will be required. This paper provides a ten-step approach on how to increase the cooling efficiency, the cooling capacity, and the power density of existing data centers.

IBM to sell supercomputing server

With the density levels you're starting to get today with blades and servers like the 575, fairly specialised power and cooling is once again coming to the forefront" of data centre operations, Haff said.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Drop those bad habits

Resilience can be built in and the whole unit engineered for optimum cooling. Floorspace savings might not necessarily be an issue unless organisations are moving or expanding - recent developments in compute density have meant many data centres...

The greening of IT: Cooling costs

Many vendors are pushing high-density racks requiring 20kW and that also entails water cooling. A 2.5MW unit the size of two sea containers is enough to power 800 racks. BT's server density does not exceed 3kW or 4kW per rack, a level where fresh...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
