Intel and South Korean mobile carrier KT have partnered to investigate the possibility of running data centers at a hotter temperature than normal in an effort to reduce the cost of cooling and power. Traditionally, organizations run their data centers at between 64 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit to keep servers from overheating. However, keeping the facilities running at such low … [Read more...]
New Online Guide Provides Alternative Server Room Cooling Solution
MovinCool®, a brand of DENSO Corporation, announced the publication of “How to Avoid IT System Failures Due to Equipment Overheating: Using Ceiling-Mount Spot Air Conditioners as a Cost Effective Way of Cooling Server Rooms”, a 10-page guide geared toward facility and IT managers, consulting engineers and mechanical contractors. As the use of server rooms to house vial … [Read more...]
Intel Servers Successfully Cooled in Mineral Oil Bath
After a one-year trial period, Intel has approved the idea of cooling servers by dunking them in mineral oil. Created by Green Revolution Cooling (GRC), the liquid cooling system, known as CarnotJet, removes heat from server electronics more efficiently than traditional air-cooling methods by submerging the servers horizontally into the bath of GRC’s GreenDEF mineral oil. Heat … [Read more...]
Simplified Data Center Rack Cooling Management
The C degree Flow™ strip from Telect simplifies the managing of data center rack temperatures and increases cooling efficiencies. Using the strip's inherent and bold color-shifting properties, a technician can easily assess data center temperatures and be assured that all is cool. Additionally, temperatures across a rack can be increased by knowing where the cold air is going, … [Read more...]
Server Failures Don’t Rise Along With the Heat
Researchers at the University of Toronto, who studied data on equipment failures at data centers operated by Google, Los Alamos National Labs, and Canada’s SciNet HPC consortium, conclude that the effect of high data center temperatures on system reliability is smaller than often assumed. For DRAM failures and node outages, no evidence for a correlation with higher … [Read more...]
