Introduction to Data Center Energy Flow and Thermal Management

摘要: This chapter provides an introduction to the emerging trends in growth of data centers. It is seen that projected functionality and performance information technology communications equipment resulting sharply increasing power dissipation per unit facility footprint. Increased energy usage for powering thermal management centers, which a potential concern continued centers examined. The guidelines environmental control assure satisfactory are discussed. Thermal involves multiple length scales. approaches currently use under exploration at various scales presented. modeling also Data generally expected operate continuously, yet there have been documented failure events lead interruption. tier classification based on redundancy introduced.
