Certain Cleveland data centers take a more modern approach that saves money without compromising on equipment safety and stability


CRAC Speed Reduction


Computer room air conditioning units (CRACs) use quite a bit of power and can account for up to 10% of a particular data center’s overall energy use


Hot and Cold Aisles


In a hot / cold aisle layout, the ‘corridors’ between facing racks are enclosed, with doors at either end and a ceiling


Strategic Design


Although careful containment layouts have a demonstrated impact on cooling in data centers,


many businesses follow the same old pattern when designing a building


This approach creates problems like the following:


• Difficult or precarious rack placement


• Problems with containment duct layout


• Higher operating expenses (if building is too large)


• Reduced operating capacity (if layout is too small / limited)


A number of Cleveland data centers take a different approach:


the building design is oriented around the rack layouts that match the projected needs

The Bottom Line


Cleveland data centers don’t all use revolutionary cooling and power technologies,


but they do use existing resources in better, more sustainable ways


Insightful building design and well thought-out cooling strategies go a long way towards reducing data center power consumption
