There is a common misconception

cooling but the reverse is actually the
case. Running fewer high density
racks than lower density ones will
yield a lower total cost of ownership
because they have far superior
compute capabilities while using
significantly less data centre resource:
switchgear, UPS, power, cooling
towers and pumps, chillers, lighting
and so on.
While next generation servers
are capable of operating at higher
temperatures than previous solutions,
the demand and necessity for
intelligent, energy efficient cooling
remains in the ascendancy. Among
others, this is being driven by
increased deployments of high
