Best Practices for Unlocking Your Hidden Data Center
Overview Many data centers do not have the power or cooling capacity to extend this level of rack density across the raised-floor area to help meet growing performance demands. Traditional data centers have been provisioned to supply 40 - 60 W per square foot, but densities of 20 - 25 kW per rack would require power and cooling capacity of up to 600 W per square foot - a level that typically exceeds acceptable efficiency or cost levels. In addition to imminent power and cooling problems, growing awareness about the environmental impact of excessive energy usage is driving business leaders to explore ways to make IT infrastructures more efficient than they are now.
