How HPC is Heading Down the Data Center Food Chain
High performance computing (HPC) used to only be for supercomputing centers, high-end analytics firms, and specialized oil and gas exploration applications. But the technology is democratizing. Recent advances in processing, cooling, and data center density have...
The Shifting Conversation on Managing Airflow Management: A Mini Case Study
Is managing airflow management redundant or superfluous or perhaps overly scrupulous? Nervously risking a loose biblical association, I would merely point out that …in the beginning … airflow management was a means for reducing data center equipment hot spots. The...
Immersion Cooling: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Immersion cooling is supposed to be the next big thing. It is being heralded by vendors as the next stage in the evolution of the data center, the only way to achieve ultra-high-density racks, and the best solution to bring high-performance computing (HPC) to a much...
