Capturing the Evolution of Data Center Cooling and Airflow ManagementData Center Education and Knowledge
That is what you’ll gain with the Upsite Blog. We’ve been posting for several years now. One might think there is only so much to say about data center cooling and airflow management, but as a testament to our passion, and the ever changing landscape of data centers and computer rooms, we still have plenty left to talk about.
We hope you’ll find the content herein valuable and useful as you begin, or continue, your journey towards data center cooling optimization.
Why has PUE Remained Flat for So Long After Years of Progress?
Global averages from Statista and the Uptime Institute put power usage effectiveness (PUE) at 1.55 in 2022. The latest survey from Uptime Institute raised that number to 1.58 for 2023. “PUE has been relatively flat for the last six years after falling dramatically...
7 Airflow Management Considerations in Building a New Data Center
If you think a discussion about some number of airflow management considerations in building a new data center is going to ring up the normal litany of plugging holes with filler panels and floor grommets, separating hot aisles from cold aisles, minimizing or...

[VIDEO] Why the Rise of Liquid Cooling Doesn’t Spell the End of Air Cooling
The concept of liquid cooling in data centers has grown immensely in popularity over the last few years. Much of this has been driven by claims that liquid cooling is up to 2,000-3,000 times better than air cooling and is the only way to efficiently cool data centers...
How Augmented Reality Tools Can Help with Data Center Design and Reconfiguration
Oculus virtual reality (VR) headsets burst onto the scene a few years ago for immersive gaming and entertainment experiences. Novel as they are, a far more practical use case is emerging. Many augmented reality (AR) tools are being harnessed in the design of data...

[VIDEO] Defining Liquid Cooling in the Data Center
What is liquid cooling? To put it simply, liquid cooling is when the removal of a heat source is done by a liquid. Pretty straightforward, right? It should be, but there’s actually quite a few misconceptions as to what solutions are considered ‘liquid cooling’ and...
