It may be that you’re just keeping the temperature low and paying for it, with no real added value.
But what about efficiency? What about operating modular containment within the data center itself?įurthermore, keeping your data center operating at a lower-than-necessary temperature may not necessarily help with performance. The latest metrics show that regularly operating in the recommended 64.4F and 80.6F range, which based on the ANSI/ ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2016, will keep your data center nice and healthy. New technologies, like solid-state, have a different operating temperature than their spinning disk counterparts. There are a lot of opinions out there about the ideal temperature for server rooms and data centers because there are so many variables to consider such as server mix, cooling arrangement, and load conditions. What’s also important is to constantly analyze ASHRAE requirements, how they’re evolving, and where they apply to your data center.
Granted, all of these things are important. How do we cool entire racks? What can we do with all those aisles? How do we ensure proper cooling from a raised floor perspective? Too often we get caught up in the big picture of managing a data center.
