There is no denying that power densities in data centers
are not coming down anytime soon. Some predict figures of 25kW per
cabinet and more. Processors are faster, but are still energy hogs
even though they are using less energy. The servers that house processors
come equipped with dual cords for redundancy which takes up breaker
space. Power is constantly in demand in a data center, but to keep
this flowing requires cooling for the heat generated from the equipment
that is soaking in all that power.
As power densities in a data center increase the threshold
for air cooling becomes smaller. The solution which is many times
over more efficient than air and has been shunned by data center
managers since the days of water cooled mainframes and that is liquid
cooling.
