Data centers contain a wide variety of electronic equipment that is very sensitive to its operating environment. One of the major risks to this equipment comes in the form of environmental threats if not operated in an appropriately controlled facility. In this video, learn how data center environmental controls seek to maintain a stable environment friendly to electronic equipment.
- [Narrator] Data centers contain…a wide variety of electronic equipment…that is very sensitive to its operating environment.…One of the major risks to this equipment…comes in the form of environmental threats…if the equipment is not operated…in an appropriately controlled facility.…Data connector environmental controls…seek to maintain a stable environment…that's friendly to electronic equipment.…The first environmental characteristic…that data center engineers worry about…is the air temperature.…
Electronic equipment generates a significant amount of heat,…and if a data center does not have…appropriate cooling equipment,…the facility can become extremely hot.…Excessive heat can dramatically reduce…the expected life of servers and other electronic equipment,…so data center facility managers…invest heavily in maintaining a temperature…friendly to that equipment.…This investment requires massive cooling systems…such as the one shown here on a data center roof.…
Conventional wisdom about data center temperatures…has changed over time.…
