Ten Cooling Solutions to Support High-Density Server Deployment

Overview High-density servers offer a significant performance per watt benefit. However, depending on the deployment, they can present a significant cooling challenge. Vendors are now designing servers that can demand over 40 kW of cooling per rack. With most data centers designed to cool an average of no more than 2 kW per rack, innovative strategies must be used for proper cooling of high-density equipment.

This paper provides ten approaches for increasing cooling efficiency, cooling capacity, and power density in existing data centers.

The greening of IT: Cooling costs

BT's server density does not exceed 3kW or 4kW per rack, a level where fresh air cooling is effective. Another key strategy to reduce the cooling load is to scale back the server density. Many vendors are pushing high-density racks requiring 20kW...

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.

Data centres struggle to keep their cool

Given the increasing use of high density hardware such as multi-core processors and blade servers, excessive power and cooling demands could lead to a rise in server failures, according to Aperture Research Institute (ARI), a division of software...
