Innovative Research, Inc. recently released TileFlow 4.2, a new version of its three-dimensional software tool for simulating cooling performance of data center. TileFlow now allows users to include upflow CRAC units in the data center layouts. For these units, the dimensions, the details of the return and supply openings, the flow rate, and the cooling characteristics are … [Read more...]
Greenpeace Issues Warning about Data Center Power
Greenpeace is calling on technology giants like Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo and Facebook to power their data centers with renewable energy sources. Their electricity often comes from utility companies that generate power from burning coal, says the group. Greenpeace estimates that data centres will use 1,963 billion kilowatt hours of electricity by 2020. That is more than the power … [Read more...]

Challenges In Thermal Management Of Memory Modules
The Datacenter Quandary Two significant challenges facing datacenter operators today are increased power and cooling costs [1]. In a recent survey of datacenter operators, 38% of respondents said they considered both power and cooling as equally important; another 21% indicated that cooling was their major challenge; and 12% cited power consumption as a big concern [2]. Another … [Read more...]
en Route to a Greener Thermal Technology
It's no surprise. Power levels in the data center keep rising. In fact, the cost of powering the computers in the data center is beginning to exceed the cost of the computers themselves. The computer architects have responded by designing systems that use multi-core processors. These processors can use less energy to perform the same workload as their single-core brethren by … [Read more...]
