New Green Grid Reliability Report Helps Data Center and Facility Managers Better Understand Data Center Cooling
The Green Grid, the global authority on resource efficient information technology and data centers published a new report entitled Data Center Efficiency and IT Equipment Reliability. The report details the latest research on the robustness of modern IT equipment, along with new practices that enable data center operators to reduce and eliminate the need for mechanical air conditioning.
Currently, the perception of the data center’s equipment tolerance to heat and humidity is based on practices dating back to the 1950s, resulting in an unnecessary waste of resources and carbon. In its latest report, The Green Grid shows how data centers can run at significantly higher temperatures and humidity levels without affecting overall equipment failure rates.
