Today, the focus is on utility-scale photovoltaic solar and the emerging accompaniment of colocated energy storage.

A typical hyperscale construction project can have between 300 to 600 electricians on-site, which is a nightmare in regard to social distancing and other COVID-19 procedures.

Liquid immersion cooling is a way to reallocate power from cooling into an increased critical load within the same power envelope.

Many times, when the actual capacity of the cooling system is not severely exceeded by the actual heat load of the equipment, optimizing the airflow may improve the situation until a new or additional cooling system is installed.

Before jumping into cost-effective raised floor suggestions, remember the goal of any airflow management initiative is to improve the intake air temperatures to IT equipment.

The modular data center market is projected to observe substantial growth through the forthcoming timeframe owing to the increasing development of connected devices and the subsequent adoption of technologies like big data and IoT across several industry verticals.

Data center consulting company Capitoline reports that, after IT-related issues, fire incidents are the leading cause of data center outages, and they account for the longest periods of downtime — in excess of 24 hours on average.

The current focus on data center efficiency requires an agile response to changing customer needs, and that means deploying the right monitoring and cooling solutions to provide competitive, operational, and cost-saving advantages.

In this podcast, Anthony Gennello of CEG shares advice on how to properly plan and prepare for containment solutions, providing real-life examples along the way.

Data centers are a unique building application for air-side economizing.
