Types of Data Center A data center is a centralized facility or location used to manage, process, store, and disseminate data and information. It houses computing systems, including servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and other components essential for the smooth operation of IT infrastructure. Data centers play a critical role in supporting various digital services, […]

Data Center: Direct-to-Chip Cooling Cooling systems that target components that are centers of heat production can more efficiently dissipate heat. That’s why direct-to-chip cooling is becoming an increasingly attractive cooling strategy in data centers. While direct-to-chip cooling can target servers’ hottest components, high cost and the risk of cooling system failure mean that this is not always the […]

Data Center Heat Reuse In most data centers, the fate of excess heat generated by servers and other equipment is pretty simple: The heat ends up being dissipated by some type of cooling system — such as chilled air or liquid cooling — and, ultimately, distributed into the surrounding environment. Data center heat reuse involves capturing and repurposing the […]
