of a new CRAC unit. These include
in-row cooling units, self-contained cooling
cabinets and portable cooling units.

Cooling Optimization
Optimizing your cooling infrastructure can provide two benefits. The most obvious
is a significant reduction in your energy bill. In addition, maximizing efficiency will
increase cooling capacity, which can eliminate the need to purchase additional
cooling units.
“Saving energy is more than just “being green.” Making data
centers more energy efficient will go a long way in meeting
the ever-growing demand for increased computing and
data-storage capacity.”

Data Center Monitoring
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is often prescribed by consultants to
get a baseline of temperature and airflow in a data center. These are complicated,
expensive and often wildly inaccurate. Properly placed sensors and monitoring
software can provide real-world visualization of environmental conditions and give
you instant results of changes as they are implemented.
“To keep up to speed with the ever-changing IT landscape,
IT pros must be empowered to take a holistic approach to
managing their networking, storage and security through a
software-defined data center.”
