Optimizing Cooling Layouts for the Data Center

A challenging predicament for facility managers is striking a balance between the complicated and drastic heat output of IT equipment and preventing that heat from damaging the very equipment that creates it. Further, humidity and temperature levels outside the recommended range can detrimentally alter computer components making them vulnerable to future failures. Although obtaining proper cooling equipment is important, equally important is the distribution and layout of that equipment. This course discusses various types of cooling equipment, and deployment methods for optimal system performance and improved data center efficiency.
