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.
Cooling Efficiency Algorithms: Encroaching into the Allowable Data Center Temperature Envelope
In this long series on cooling efficiency algorithms dating back to last September, I have presented tools for quantifying the energy use impact in the data center of:Pressure and temperature differentials across cooling coilsTemperature differentials delivered to...
Understanding the Threats to Our Data Centers: Security, Capacity, and More
We get the chance to talk about a lot of interesting things here on the Upsite blog. Future technologies, ways you can make your data center more efficient, and how to plan around better designs for your business initiatives.However, we don’t always discuss the...
AFCOM Data Center World: A Look at Liquid Cooling
Image by Steve Hall Photography When I wasn’t speaking or doing networking events at Data Center World, I had the pleasure of attending a few fun sessions. On my radar was a session being led by one of Upsite’s leading engineers, Lars Strong. During that session, Lars...
Cooling Efficiency Algorithms: Heat Exchangers and Temperature Differentials
Heat exchangers refer to any kind of device used to transfer heat from one fluid to another fluid without direct contact between the fluids. Heated fluid flowing through one part of the heat exchanger transfers its heat to another cooler fluid or to the outside air....
AFCOM Data Center World: A Greater Focus on Redundancy and Resiliency
Data Center World was, once again, a success and a really fun event to attend. There have been some really fascinating developments in the data center world. None more so than the growth we’re experiencing as more organizations leverage the power of the data center...
