Today’s data centre managers are facing increased financial and regulatory pressure to improve the efficiency of their data centres. At the same time, the IT environment is becoming more dynamic, making a flexible, more predictable physical infrastructure a necessity.
Traditional cooling approaches are inadequate to address these challenges. A new White paper from Schneider Electric demonstrates how Economiser-based cooling modules use half the energy of traditional methods but provides greater results.
When a cooling plant operates in economiser mode, high energy consuming mechanical systems can be turned off. A standardised, modular cooling plant designed to operate primarily in economiser mode, not only reduces costs but also improves predictability and flexibility.
Schneider Electric’s new white paper shows an original approach to data centre cooling that uses approximately half the energy of traditional methods, and provides greater scalability, availability, and ease of maintenance.
The new White Paper 136 ‘High efficiency Economiser-based cooling modules for large data centers’ details how the biggest opportunity for energy savings comes from the cooling plant which, in some data centres, consumes more energy than the IT load.
The White Paper provides an insight into operating cooling modules in economiser mode in a manner that doesn’t compromise on efficiency or availability.
