Natural Circulation Refrigerant Solutions Providing Power Efficient Data Centre Cooling on Demand
GREEN DATA SYSTEMS today announced the introduction of Hitachi’s
Modular Cooling Solutions. The new Modular Cooling Solutions are based
on Natural Circulation Refrigerant Solutions Providing Power Efficient
Data Centre Cooling on Demand. The solution optimises the configuration
of the cooling units to obtain the highest level of power efficiency in a
high-density arranged data centre. This enables data centre operators
to boost the utilisation of space to the highest potential, while
reducing CO2 emissions considerably.
The constantly changing IT environment coupled with increased expectations from Data Centre
users and owners requires the ability for data centres to be scalable and retrofitted as the
market evolves while improving power efficiencies. Operators
don’t always have the luxury of starting from a blank slate and
therefore the ability to retrofit an operating data centre with minimal
disruption is essential. Existing facilities as well as new facilities
inherit a range of IT technologies including high-density server
equipment such as Blade Server technologies. These technologies when in
operation often create hot spots within a data centre and not adequately
cooled by existing cooling equipment. As a result, there lies the need
for a scalable solution that is capable of installation within a short
timeframe with little to no disruption to existing IT and Mechanical or
Electrical services.
