[VIDEO] The Science of Data Center Containment
Whether you’re implementing hot aisle or cold aisle containment, modular or legacy containment, or soft or hard containment, the overarching goal is to prevent the mixing of cold supply air with hot exhaust air. How effectively you do this does somewhat depend on the...
Scale up, Scale out, or Scale Across for AI Data Centers. Which is Best?
For years, there has been a discussion about whether it is best to scale up the capabilities of a server or rack or scale out to distribute the workload across multiple servers or racks. Scaling UP within the rack or server means adding more CPUs, GPUs, RAM, and...

[VIDEO] PUE Levels of Measurement: What You Need to Know
The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric is the most popular method of calculating energy efficiency in the data center. Although hotly debated for its limitations, its use is still very prevalent throughout the industry. Developed by the Green Grid, PUE is simply...
Protecting the AI Data Center from the Grid and the Grid from AI Data Centers
Data centers have always installed uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and power quality systems to protect them from grid instability and keep power quality high. That technology still applies. But now protection is needed in the other direction: to protect the grid...
