Cooling Strategies for Ultra-High Density Racks and Blade Servers

Overview Rack power of 10kW per rack or more can result from the deployment of high-density information technology equipment such as blade servers. This creates difficult cooling challenges in a data center environment where the industry average rack power consumption is under 2kW. Five strategies to cope with ultra-high power racks are described in this paper, covering practical solutions for both new and existing data centers.
