Is data center design more difficult because of the green movement? Greening of the datacenter doesn't need to be all that sophisticated, many organizations have found that keeping the server room at 68 degrees or even 72 degrees can yield immediate and meaningful cost savings. The newer equipment is rated at higher operating temperatures.If you have been in and around data centers for anytime prior to 2010 you know the import and complexity of what goes on under the raised floor, well say hello to the future. Believe it or not, in 2010 raised floors are going out like the horse and buggy did with the advent of automobiles. Why: Because as hot air rises, cool air ends up below the raised floor, where it isn't doing much good. Raised floor can no longer withstand the weight demands of racks upon racks of equipment.Raised floors are simply not efficient anymore. That's progress. That is simplification too, troubleshooting and reconfigurations of the cable plant are much easier now with cables in plain site.What are you doing in your data center to lower cost and help green the planet?
