The Thermal Management Challenge in Raised Floor Data Centre

Thermal management of your raised floor data centre is essential. Heat can become a major contributor to downtime, so you need to take action to maintain a thermal environment that protects the most valuable asset of your business. Thermal considerations can also impact other components of the raised floor data centre ecosystem, such as the need for space, asset management, and effective organisation.

Data volumes on the increase

As any raised floor data centre manager can attest, the 21st Century business has an insatiable appetite for information. Business performance can be measured in near real-time by terabytes of transactional and supply chain data. With data volumes continuing to increase, there is a growing need to query, report, and analyze data to enhance business performance in a highly competitive economy.

The importance of thermal management

This can have implications for the thermal integrity of the raised floor data centre facility. First, there is an increase in electrical power consumption, and a subsequent increase in heat discharge. Second, more servers are required in less space, putting an even greater strain on the ability of the raised floor data centre to provide adequate cooling to each server.
