YouTube: World's Greenest Data Center?

Syracuse University, IBM, New York State launch one of the worlds greenest data centers—a showcase of energy efficient design and function. It is anticipated to use about 50 percent less energy than a typical data center in operation today. A typical data center uses up to 30 times more energy than a typical office building, and that energy use is doubling every five years. Improving data center energy efficiency offers significant energy cost savings and environmental benefits to organizations and businesses. Read More...

Demonstration of Rack-Mounted Computer Equipment Cooling Solutions

Eleven cooling systems, for rack mounted computer equipment were evaluated and compared for their cooling effectiveness and their energy. The cooling systems were of various designs but all are, what is termed, close coupled or enclosed, and they all ultimately transferred heat to the building chilled water system. The types of cooling systems tested were: rack cooler with air to water heat exchanger, row type rack cooler with air to refrigerant or air to water heat exchanger, rack rear door passive cooler with air to refrigerant or air to water heat exchanger, a prototype direct touch cooling system using refrigerant and a design consisting of a container type enclosure cooled with chilled water.
