Future Facilities, a provider of data center design and operational management software, has partnered with Intel to integrate a 3-D data center model known as Virtual Facility with the new thermal sensors Intel is embedding into its servers. By embedding the new thermal sensors, Intel will be able to allow the CPU to optimize IT load capacity planning and eliminate the need … [Read more...]
New Liquid Cooling System Based on Rocket-Cooling Technology
Researchers at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) based out of the University of California, San Diego have developed a new approach to cooling computer servers. Based on rocket-cooling technology, the Cool-Flo liquid cooling system may improve energy efficiency and enable higher-performance computing. Developed by Steve … [Read more...]
Water Consumption in Liquid-Cooled Data Centers Remains a Concern
Though water is not used by all data centers, it is a critical component for some data center cooling systems and overuse of it can potentially affect area water supplies. Large data centers using evaporative cooling can consume up to hundreds of thousands of gallons of water per day and could potentially exceed utilities’ ability to supply water, putting pressure on … [Read more...]
System Level Benefits of Augmenting Fan Cooled Servers with Localized Synthetic Jets
Raghav Mahalingam Nuventix Inc. The cooling needs of data centers and server farms have increased rapidly over the last few years due to the advent of cloud computing. The use of large banks of fans is quite common in such systems and cooling system power is a significant fraction of the operational costs. Additionally, NEBS acoustic requirements limits the use of higher speed … [Read more...]
Cloud Computing May Solve Data Center Cooling Cost Issues
InformationWeek Reports, a service provider for peer-based IT research and analysis, recently released its “2012 State of the Data Center” report, which contains the results of its annual State of the Data Center Survey and advice on how companies can best approach the virtualization of hardware and software. According to the data compiled from approximately 256 business … [Read more...]
