PRESENTATION OVERVIEW:
Traditional data center "room" cooling
is unable to accommodate the latest generation of high and variable
density IT equipment resulting in cooling systems that are inefficient,
unpredictable, and low in power density. To address these problems
row-oriented and rack-oriented cooling architectures have been
developed. This presentation will examine and contrast the 3 basic
cooling approaches: room, row, and rack architectures. Each approach has
an appropriate application but row-orientated cooling is emerging as
the solution of choice for most next generation data centers. Next
generation data centers demand the flexibility, predicability,
scalability, reduced electrical power consumption, reduced TCO, and
optimum availability that row and rack-oriented cooling architectures
can provide. Additionally, the factors that gave rise to the
establishment and use of the raised floor in the data center environment
are presented. For many applications the use of the raised floor is no
longer justified or desirable. To learn more on this topic, join us for
breakfast and an educational presentation that examines "is perimeter
cooling dead”?
PRESENTATION TOPIC HIGHLIGHTS:
-Discuss the following cooling approaches: room, row and rack-based cooling architectures.
-Comparison of cooling architectures: challenges in agility, availability, lifecycle costs, serviceability, and manageability
-Special issues: capacity utilization, humidification, electrical efficiency, water near IT equipment, location and redundancy.
-Elements of the raised floor and problems associated with using a raised floor.
-Hurdles to eliminating the raised floor
-Designing without a raised floor.
Attendees
are invited to stay after the educational presentation to walk through a
demonstration data center and experience InfraStruXure architecture
from APC by Schneider Electric. All attendees are eligible for a free
Critical Facility Energy Profile conducted at their own facility. For

ABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER:
Don
Melchert has been working with critical facilities since 1992. He has
lead the efficient build out of new data centers such as Sisters of
Mercy hospitals and has managed critical facilities to include ConAgra
Foods, Coca-Cola Enterprises and the Department of Education. For
Schneider Electric, Don is now the primary instructor for Data Center
University, bringing with him the knowledge and experience gained from
assisting customers throughout North America become more self sufficient
and energy conscious.
