Data Centre Cooling Assessment
Data centres are adapting to accommodate higher expectations for growth, consolidation and security. Demands for uptime and serviceability coupled with new technology and protocols make the data centre a challenging and constantly evolving environment.
Demand for energy efficient operations is rapidly becoming a key data center issue. The more energy efficient the data centre, the lower the operational costs for your organization.
As data centre cooling systems contribute approximately fifty percent of your total data centre energy consumption, a clear strategy is required to ensure that your facility’s cooling system is operating effectively and efficiently as possible.
To support the ever changing data centre environment and to strive for maximum operational efficiency your cooling system infrastructure requires continual monitoring and management over the life of the data centre.
Consider the following
- Can your cooling infrastructure keep pace with your increasing IT loads?
- Is power availability hindering your capability to expand your IT infrastructure?
- Are your cooling services sufficient for your existing equipment?
- Do you know whether your cooling infrastructure is operating optimally and efficiently?
- Do you have a strategy in place to meet the challenges of a reduced carbon economy?
- Is your cooling strategy suitable?
- Do you understand the importance of air movement within your facility?
- Are your racks designed correctly for the cooling systems currently installed?
- Are you experiencing hotspots?
The Stulz engineering and technical services team is able to assist you in assessing these areas by working with you to implement a four-step tailor-made strategy of measuring, analysing, reporting and resolving your data centre cooling systems.
The team at Stulz understands that a continual evaluation of the cooling performance throughout the evolution of your data centre is a regular mandatory business activity and not a one-off exercise.
