In most data centers both the IT equipment and the data center itself are highly managed to optimize power, cooling and performance. In the past that optimization did not include simultaneous optimization of the overall entity. This seminar explores resulting non-optimal design characteristics and the methods used to operate both the IT equipment and the data center to solve cooling problems and better optimize its capability. The interaction of containment systems on IT equipment is covered along with the opportunity created using thermal sensing and simulation to manage the cooling. Techniques for avoiding data center limitation and stranded capacity are addressed as they relate to both the ITE and the data center cooling infrastructure.
