For most data centers, cooling used to be pretty straightforward: A CRAC unit kept the server room cold enough that staff often wear sweaters to work no matter the outside temperature.

Cooling experts consider the footprint of the data center’s building and property, the climate it’s in, and the IT load to design the system that best addresses the customer’s needs.

The BAC Nexus Modular Hybrid Cooler was designed to minimize maintenance cost by reducing spray water volume by up to 60% by allowing accessibility to all components at the front of the unit and by operating dry when temperature and climate allow.

Data centers must assure not only the integrity of the data they process and store, but the integrity of mechanical systems that drive their operations.

For the university, avoiding freeze damage to the cooling tower was the No. 1 priority, but there were other benefits as well.

How an organization deploys liquid cooling technologies might vary, but the key advantages are now flowing through to colocation implementations, enterprise infrastructures, legacy data centers, and the edge.

DCIM is an ongoing process that should be used often and not just when there is a modification to the floor.

Traditional computer room air handler (CRAH) and computer room air conditioner (CRAC) designs differ in more than one way.

Evaporative media selection is a process that should encompass meeting short-term needs while accounting for long-term goals.

Silent-Aire's portfolio of data center solutions allow for rapid deployment of critical infrastructure in flexible configurations, with a focus on quality, scalability, and speed-to-market.
