Although facilities staff are often held accountable for cooling problems, many problems are actually caused by improper deployment of IT equipment outside their control. This paper examines the typical mistakes, explains their principles, quantifies their impacts, and describes their remedies.

IT IS ALL ABOUT EFFICIENCY. The new PowerEdge M1000e is designed to help you be more efficient with your time, your power and cooling, your investment, and your system’s performance.

An increasing number of enterprises have hit the limits of their data center’s power, cooling and space capacity. Learn how Data center virtualization could reduce energy costs in the data center by up to 50%

CIOs have many reasons for looking at the energy efficiency of their data centers. This 2008 report from IDC and Fujitsu Siemens details the most important considerations for organizations that are looking to reduce their power consumption and the challenges of environmental sustainability.

How to Deliver the IT Resources your Business Needs, When it Needs Them! This 12 page guide explores the drivers for demand and capacity management; the benefits and ROI; and the challenges business face in making it work.

When blade servers are densely packed, they can exceed the power and cooling capacities of almost all traditional data centers. This paper explains how to evaluate the options and select the best power and cooling approach for a successful and predictable blade deployment.

There is much confusion in the marketplace about the different types of UPS systems and their characteristics. Each of these UPS types is defined, practical applications of each are discussed, and advantages and disadvantages are listed.

Find out what leading consulting engineers viewpoints are on the various power trends that are currently occuring within the IT industry and the effects that this can have on your organisation in this informative White Paper.

When choosing a management solution for the physical infrastructure of IT networks, management of individual devices is necessary in order to have visibility to the many data points required for the reliable operation of network-critical physical infrastructure.

In this paper, the impact of data center design parameters on perforated tile airflow is quantified and methods of improving the uniformity are discussed.

The control of humidity in IT environments is essential to achieving high availability. This paper explains how humidity affects equipment and why humidity control is required.

Signal reference grids are automatically specified and installed in data centers despite the fact that they are no longer needed by modern IT equipment. The question of why systems can work reliably without an SRG and whether the SRG is ever a necessary or logical expense.

Data centre density of Watts/ft2 or Watts/m2 is not sufficient to determine power or cooling compatibility with high density computing loads like blade servers. This paper describes the science and practical application for the specification of power and cooling infrastructure for data centres.

The use of modern enclosed hot aisles to address increasing power densities in the data centre has brought into question the suitability of working conditions in these hot aisle environments. Is additional heat stress imposed by such high density IT environments a concern?

InfraStruXure® fully integrates power, cooling, rack, management, security and services. This on-demand architecture allows the selection of standardized components to create a solution through modular and mobile configurations. InfraStruXure is available for any IT environment, from wiring closets to large data centres.

Conventional models for esitmating electrical efficiency of data centres are grossly inaccurate for real-world installations. This paper examines a more accurate efficiency model, one that provides a rational basis for identifying and quantifying waste in power and cooling equipment.
