Data Center Cooling Calculation: Quantify Your Heat Load

Starts With Quantifying Your Heat Load

Ever wonder what would happen if you suddenly lost cooling in your data center? Data Center managers know that a sudden loss of cooling will result in a rapid temperature rise in their room. What is not clear is how much ride-thru time a manager has before the increased temperatures causes equipment to shut down. Having an understanding of this information will help the IT Manager plan for worst-case scenarios.

Your equipment turns up the heat.

When it comes to data center infrastructure management, your equipment puts your efficiency in the hot seat. Your high-performance, multiprocessor servers are working hard, computing tons of information and storing countless bytes of information. This takes up a lot of power, which converts directly into heat. Servers may be getting smaller and faster, but they're also consuming more power and producing more heat.

This tool assumes an even track distribution of IT Load and that no ventilation or supplemental cooling exists while the IT load is operating.
