  1. Infrastructure Gina Dickson – Product Manager Kevin Jackson – Sales Manager

  2. Evolution of IT Equipment • Movement towards high density • Enclosure power consumption increasing • From 2 kW to 35+ kW • Impact on IT infrastructure • IT enclosures • Power distribution units (PDUs) • Remote monitoring • Security Company Confidential

  3. Strategic Approach for IT Enclosures • Large variance in enclosure power consumption • 2 kW – 35 kW • Cooling and airflow become increasingly important • Increased power density = increased heat • Need custom cabinets for specific applications Company Confidential

  4. Data Center Design Standard Hot Aisle / Cold Aisle Design Cold air through vented tiles – hot air back to CRAC unit Company Confidential

  5. Data Center Design Cold Aisle with Containment and Chimney Exhaust Hot air back to CRAC unit via a chimney into the plenum Company Confidential

  6. Data Center Design • Results • Increased cooling efficiency • Stops mixing • Eliminates hot spots • Eliminates hot aisle Company Confidential

  7. Data Center Design • Direct cold air with chimney exhaust • Cold air forced into cabinet • Hot air directly back to CRAC unit • Results • Increased cooling efficiency • Eliminates hot and cold aisle Company Confidential
