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.

[VIDEO] The State of the Data Center Industry: Energy and Redundancy
According to the most recent AFCOM State of the Data Center Industry report, organizations continue to invest in solutions which help improve overall redundancy levels. For power, N+1 is still primary, but N+2 redundancy designs are expected to grow by over 40% over...
Data Center Airflow Management at 100˚F
Is the time right for the 100 degree Fahrenheit data center? It sure seems like it should be with the ASHRAE TC9.9 guidelines allowing server inlet temperatures up to 95˚F for Class A2 servers, 104˚F for Class A3 servers and 113˚F for Class A4 servers. When we finally...
A Look at Liquid Cooling Use-Cases and How You Should Prepare
First of all, although this post will cover the concept of liquid cooling, it’s important to note that we’ll take a bit of a higher-level approach initially to better understand the market. With that being said, liquid cooling is a very real technology being leveraged...

[VIDEO] Data Center Cooling Insights: What the 4 Delta Ts Are Telling You
Simply put, the term ‘delta T’ refers to the change in temperature through various locations in the computer room. However, depending on who you ask you’ll likely get a different answer as to where THE delta T is located. If you ask Facilities person, they might talk...
Cooling Efficiency Algorithms: Encroaching into the Allowable Data Center Temperature Envelope
In this long series on cooling efficiency algorithms dating back to last September, I have presented tools for quantifying the energy use impact in the data center of:Pressure and temperature differentials across cooling coilsTemperature differentials delivered to...
