Data Center Case Studies Focus Of Book
Data centers are becoming increasingly more difficult to adequately cool, due
to increased datacom performance that results in increased heat dissipation.
Even though performance has increased at a more rapid rate than power, the
power required and the resulting heat dissipated by the datacom equipment is
putting
a strain on data centers.
Case studies and guidance on cooling data centers is available in a new book
from ASHRAE, High Density Data Centers - Case Studies and Best Practices.
“
In the struggle to improve the thermal management characteristics of data centers,
it is important to assess today’s data center designs,” Roger Schmidt
said. “This book provides case studies of high density data centers and
a range of ventilation schemes that demonstrate how loads can be cooled using
a number of different approaches.”
Schmidt is a member of ASHRAE’s technical committee on mission control
facilities, technology spaces and electronic equipment, which wrote the book.
Case studies featured in the book include the National Center for Environmental
Prediction, the IBM Test Facility in Poughkeepsie, NY, the San Diego Supercomputer
Center, the Lawrence Livermore National Lab Data Center, the NYC Financial
Services Data Center, the Georgia Institute of Technology Data Center, the
Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center Data Center and the Hewlett-Packard Richardson Datacool™ Data
Center.
