Sustainable Operation and Management of Data Center Chillers Using Temporal Data Mining

Overview Data centers are a critical component of modern IT infrastructure but are also among the worst environmental offenders through their increasing energy usage and the resulting large carbon footprints. Efficient management of data centers, including power management, networking, and cooling infrastructure, is hence crucial to sustainability. In the absence of a "First-principles" approach to man-age these complex components and their interactions, data-driven approaches have become attractive and tenable. The paper presents a temporal data mining solution to model and optimize performance of data center chillers, a key component of the cooling infrastructure. It helps bridge raw, numeric, time-series information from sensor streams toward higher level characterizations of chiller behavior, suit-able for a data center engineer.
