Capturing the Evolution of Data Center Cooling and Airflow ManagementData Center Education and Knowledge
That is what you’ll gain with the Upsite Blog. We’ve been posting for several years now. One might think there is only so much to say about data center cooling and airflow management, but as a testament to our passion, and the ever changing landscape of data centers and computer rooms, we still have plenty left to talk about.
We hope you’ll find the content herein valuable and useful as you begin, or continue, your journey towards data center cooling optimization.
How Baffles Improve Data Center Airflow and Lower Energy Costs
Study after study has demonstrated that cooling efficiency is badly impaired by exhaust air circulating over the top of racks and around the end-of-aisle cabinets. This mixing of exhaust and supply air raises IT equipment intake air temperatures and increases the...
Airflow Management in Focus: The Raised Floor
With so many variables affecting airflow within a data center, it can be daunting to know where to start and how to get the most out of airflow management improvements. The 4 R’s of Airflow Management™, developed by Upsite Technologies, is a holistic methodology for...
5 Airflow Management Fixes To Save Money In The Data Center
The task of keeping servers cool means that there is always cold air being blown around facilities. But much of the air used to cool servers never fulfills its purpose, instead leaking out of server aisles through various routes or being pushed around the server room...
What is Going on with Rack Density?
The recently released AFCOM State of the Data Center Report 2026 highlighted a dramatic surge in rack density over the past year – from 16 kW per rack in 2025 to 27 kW per rack in 2026. This may not seem like much. However, an almost doubling of rack density in one...

[VIDEO] Defining Liquid Cooling in the Data Center
What is liquid cooling? To put it simply, liquid cooling is when the removal of a heat source is done by a liquid. Pretty straightforward, right? It should be, but there’s actually quite a few misconceptions as to what solutions are considered ‘liquid cooling’ and...
