Description

According to A recent SearchDataCenter article, many IT departments may be wasting valuable resources by using outdated approaches to data center cooling, James Hamilton, VP and Distinguished Engineer at Amazon Web Services, in a talk he gave at the recent Usenix Conference in San Diego said the first step is to provide tighter control of airflow in the data center by effective arrangement of server cooling units. He suggests connecting server racks to a container system that seals air flow into and out of the rack, providing better control over air temperature. When attached to a sealed enclosure, little air is lost - or mixed. Variable speed fans inside the container as well as tight feedback between computer room air conditioner (CRAC) and the heat load will enable a system to eliminate inefficiencies in the server fans and deliver better cooling.
