Power and Cooling Capacity Management for Data Centers

Tags:
data center

Overview High density IT equipment stresses the power density capability of modern data centers. Installation and unmanaged proliferation of this equipment can lead to unexpected problems with power and cooling infrastructure including overheating, overloads, and loss of redundancy. The ability to measure and predict power and cooling capability at the rack enclosure level is required to ensure predictable performance and optimize use of the physical infrastructure resource. This paper describes the principles for achieving power and cooling capacity management.

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...

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...

Cost and energy benefits driving virtualisation

Peter Pedersen, CTO at Rank Group, said: "Virtualisation is very much a priority to reduce cost, to increase agility, reduce space requirement and to reduce 'carbon footprint' through reduction in power utilisation for both equipment and cooling.

How tech can make us greener

Other products can also change business processes by, for example, reducing the number of individuals involved, reducing the levels of heating or cooling required in working environments or simply reducing the amount or distance that other...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Wireless jelly

But then there is the density of laptops in the room and wi-fi nodes in the building. It was like wandering around in a vast, variable density and irregular jelly. This all came home to me recently as I worked on a project where it was necessary to...

IBM sets out storage strategy

IBM is offering a high-density tape storage library system that uses robotic arms to locate and read archival data tapes that holds three times more cartridges in the same floor space. Proliferating data storage requirements brought on both by...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
