Seminar 04 -- Power Trends of Information Technology Equipment and the Usage of ASHRAE's Thermal Guidelines in Data Center Design and Operation PDF

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

Datacom (data processing and telecommunications) equipment advances quickly resulting in short product cycles and rapid upgrade frequency. Based on the latest information from the leading datacom equipment manufacturers, this seminar summarizes the latest datacom equipment power trends documented in the 3rd edition of the Datacom Power Trends and Cooling Applications, authored by ASHRAE TC 9.9. Optimization of data center cooling may be misinterpreted as simply increasing the inlet temperature to the ITE. However, energy savings and optimization must be viewed as a carefully considered and methodical process including all aspects of data center optimization. This seminar presents that process and its application to all types of data centers.
