ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR UPTIME Improve the efficiency of your data center A closed system saves energy Vast amounts of energy are used to move and cool the air to the required temperature level. The cooled air is directed exactly to where it is needed: towards the air intake areas of servers and applications. For every one degree Celsius the air inside a data center does not have to be cooled, approximately 4 % energy outlay can be saved. Hence it is essential to close open rack units (U) and the zone adjacent to the 19” plane. The only open space should be the air intakes for the applications. The...
