Cooling Strategies:<br />
How is the market served today?<br />
No easy solution for customer pain points<br />
Today’s point solutions<br />
• Partitioning<br />
− Liquid- or refrigerant-based solutions; air containment and baffling (<strong>HP</strong>, Liebert, Verari)<br />
• "Encapsulated best practices" like APC InfrastruXure<br />
• Element efficiency (Intel-AMD CPU perf/watt, <strong>HP</strong> c-Class Thermal Logic)<br />
• <strong>Facilities</strong> plays outside the data center (air- and water-side optimizers)<br />
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling (<strong>HP</strong> Static Smart<br />
Cooling)<br />
Gap in current industry approach<br />
• No one has yet married provisioning logic with thermodynamics, end-toend<br />
from servers to data center management.<br />
− <strong>HP</strong> working to convert energy into a variable cost and tie into policy-based<br />
logic<br />
− <strong>HP</strong> introduced server resource provisioning tools in the 1990s<br />
− <strong>HP</strong> has researched heat transfer for the last 20 years<br />
− <strong>HP</strong> is the first to bridge facilities and IT for Adaptive Infrastructure
