In a reality where cabinet densities are rising — with recent research stating upwards of 10 kW per rack, on average — increasing energy efficiency and keeping operating costs down in data centers has never been so relevant or so challenging.
Ensuring data centers remain operable while minimizing cooling expenses is no small task. After all, cooling is frequently one of the largest energy consumers in data centers, usually because many still operate by oversupplying cool air to keep servers with inlet temperatures below 80⁰F.
