A data center is not only a house to servers and other equipment, but is a facility that centralizes complex IT operations and equipment of an organization. A facility stores, disseminates and manages business’s critical data. The systems stored in the data center generate significant heat that needs to be cooled down to for the constant performance.
Data centers set up cooling technology to maintain the temperature of the data centers suitable for smooth functioning of IT equipment. Heat generated by these systems also needs to be removed and transferred to some heat sink.
A data center should be well-engineered system whose cooling system efficiently serves its function. To ensure optimum downtime with no fuss, data center service providers maintain temperature of their data centers between 18-20 degree Celsius using PAC.
Several steps taken to ensure suitable temperature of the data center:
• Cooling servers by removing heat from IT equipment
• Cooling space by eliminating heat from the space that stores the entire IT equipment
• Rejecting the heat to a heat sink outside the data center
• Maintaining appropriate conditions within the space
