Managing Extreme Heat Cooling Strategies for High-Density Computer Systems
As computer manufacturers pack more and more processing power into smaller packages, the challenge of data center cooling becomes more complex – and more critical. New servers and communication switches generate as much as ten times the heat per square foot as systems manufactured just ten years ago & conventional cooling techniques are not enough.

The Anatomy of a High Availability System Configuring the New Data Center for the Ultimate in Systems Availability
For the past several decades, Market Intelligence has monitored the shift away from early mainframe orientation toward an exploding PC - and workstation - based market. Yet today, we are experiencing a re-shift back to a centralized environment. The migration back to a more protected environment is driven by a growing demand for systems availability, often nothing less than 7x24. Demands on servers, e-commerce/internet, and data/telecommunications equipment have made the "no down time" operating parameter the goal.

Lifecycle Costing for data center: Determining the True Costs of Data Center Cooling
Experts estimate that the average “design” life of a data center is 10-15 years. During that time, equipment will change three or four times. With each change of equipment comes more demand for power. And more power means more heat. This makes evaluating cooling systems for the data center a significant challenge. Synchronizing technology equipment with power, floor space and proper cooling — and doing it all cost-effectively — takes serious analysis.

Are "Mission Critical Applications" in your Data Center Outrunning your System Protection?
Corporate datacenters – even small ones – are supporting more critical business applications such as integrated data/voice/video networks, real-time interaction and e-commerce support for Web sites, and sophisticated knowledge management systems. The backbone of these applications is the new-generation server switch capable of managing gigabitscale information loads. These rack-mountable switches can become part of a scalable support for a wide range of company and customer-facing functions. But the increasing sophistication comes at a cost: vulnerability to power anomalies that can cause lost packets, switch outages and other persistent problems.

The ABCs of UPSs
What does it cost you when a computer freezes, loses data, or "hard crashes"? A recent study projected the cost of such interruptions at more than $4 billion annually, with the annual lost productivity of workers estimated at 37 million hours. The major cause of the costly break in computer services was identified as power disturbances.

The Four Classes Of Power Solutions
The following is an overview of the four basic types of power solutions that address the range of current, often complex power protection needs. Each type is appropriate for some network configurations and wrong for others. Large networks may even require a combination of types. The best solution is one that most closely matches user needs, based on such criteria as load size, application criticality, the proximity of the protected equipment, and the nature of the power problems.

Better Network Management Through SNMP
As we move past the middle of the decade, the trend continues away from host-based to clientserver systems. It's no secret this operational migration has caused as many new network management problems as it has answered . Intensified requirements come from all directions: more nodes, more uptime, more communications, more flexibility, more shared resource availability, more desktop capabilities, more reliability. More everything except the standards that have seemingly been left behind in the protected environment of the data center. Enter the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) framework of interoperable solutions for managing networks.

Are Your UPS System Batteries Really Ready to Load Test?
In a critical power application, stationary batteries should be properly installed, inspected, commissioned and tested before being placed into full service. Unfortunately, some installers hurry through inspections and the load test is performed before the batteries are properly prepared. This paper outlines the correct way to prepare batteries for load test and explains the importance of each step.

Harmonic Current Reduction Techniques For Computer Systems
While standards to limit the generation of harmonic currents are under consideration, harmonic control today relies primarily on remedial techniques. Passive filters are the most popular, but require careful application, can be expensive, and may produce unwanted side effects. Active filters are costly and not widely available. Harmonic currents can be controlled by carefully selected special purpose transformers,

K-Factor Transformers and Nonlinear Loads
Harmonic currents generated by nonlinear loads can cause problems in the power system. Transformers are particularly vulnerable to overheating and premature failure. To protect against transformer overheating caused by harmonics, designers can specify derated equipment, i.e., oversized transformers that will run at a fracton of their rated capacity, or K-factor transformers spedfically designed to accommodate harmonic currents.
