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.
Why PUE Remains Flat and What Should Be Done About It
One of the most successful programs in data center efficiency has to be Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), which was launched about 20 years ago. The idea is to have PUE as close to 1 as possible. A 1.0 rating means all of the power coming into the data center is used...
The More Commonly Known Delta Ts in Data Center Cooling
There is not just THE ΔT and there are not even just two ΔTs in the data center. As a matter of fact, there are four different ΔTs which contribute to the health of the data center. Two of these temperature differentials are frequently considered as a single metric:...
Power Grid Wakes Up to the AI Revolution
Power companies in the United States have had it relatively easy for the past couple of decades. US power demand has been flat during most of that time. Complacency set in. No wonder utilities and power producers were caught by surprise by the AI surge. “The chief...

[VIDEO] Global Data Center KPIs and Metrics You Should Be Aware Of
The arcane world of data center KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and metrics is filled with acronyms, number identifiers, and multiple revisions. Quite frankly, it is not for the faint of heart. Nevertheless, understanding the KPIs and metrics that are available in...
Custom AI Data Centers are on the Horizon
AI is challenging traditional data center designs, which lack the necessary power, cooling, and capacity to handle the density and intensity of AI workloads. As a result, new, custom-designed data centers are being built specifically to meet the demands of AI. Meta...
