This system addresses thermal challenges in high-density data deployments. It utilizes real-time computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models that are integrated with server-rack telemetry. This integration allows for the detection of micro-scale thermal spikes.
To manage these spikes and the overall thermal environment in high-density deployments, the system dynamically adjusts Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) fan speeds and controls motorized floor tile dampers. This coordinated action results in dynamic airflow reallocation.
The primary operational impact of this dynamic reallocation is the elimination of localized hot spots. Crucially, it also prevents whitespace over-cooling, ensuring that energy is used efficiently.
The key performance indicators for this system are the minimization of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and the prevention of server throttling events. By maintaining optimal temperatures, server performance is sustained without compromising energy efficiency.
