The Impact of Raising Data Centre Temperatures.
White PaperTo optimise energy usage, a holistic approach to temperature management is required taking into consideration all of the various cooling equipment deployed, ambient climate, the size of the load and the operation of the IT equipment itself.
Measurement and management are the tip of the iceberg when maximising data centre efficiency
Expert ViewIT is a mission-critical element of any modern business, which demands no compromise on availability or performance. It is also essential for any competitive organisation to be efficient within its operation.
Building an efficient data centre
Expert ViewEnergy efficiency has become a key consideration when designing and fitting out a data centre.
Right-sizing UPS systems is the right way to achieve efficiency
Expert ViewThe primary function of a UPS system is to guarantee the power supply to its load in the event of a loss or interruption to mains power. All other considerations are secondary.
