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.
When to Retrofit the Data Center to Accommodate AI, and When Not to
Legacy facilities are often ill-equipped to support widespread implementation of the high-density computing required for artificial intelligence (AI). Many lack the required infrastructure for liquid cooling and denser data centers. Where it makes sense, new...

[VIDEO] Carbon Neutral vs. Net Zero Carbon: What’s the Difference?
Carbon neutral and net zero carbon are two terms that have grown in use and popularity over the past few years when discussing topics such as sustainability, renewable energy, and climate action. However, although these terms are closely related to each other, and...
Liquid Cooling Strategies: Meeting the AI Demand in Data Centers
Traditional techniques for cooling IT infrastructure like fans and A/C may not be enough to deal with the heat generated by the high-performance AI hardware available today. While rack density continues to average only a few kW per rack, specialized use cases are...
When Battery Storage Technology Makes Sense in the Data Center
Many data centers seek to reduce generator starts either for economic or environmental reasons. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) now support extended runtime demands by shifting the load as necessary and for longer durations and can integrate with alternative...
AI Enablement Versus Data Center Energy Management
Demand to satisfy artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing workloads can often be in conflict with pressure to reduce energy consumption, costs and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the data center. AI, especially generative AI, exerts intense...
