LATEST INTELLIGENCE After reading this white paper, you will have a better understanding of six effective measures every data center owner or decision-maker must consider when deploying IT cabinets to boost energy efficiency. Some of these measures are straightforward but somewhat unknown. Others are highly innovative.
3. Sealing cable entry points in the cabinet roof layout 4. Air seal plinths for raised cabinets, sealing the space between the floor and the cabinet 5. Sealing cable entry points as part of the cabinet airflow package 6. Sealing-kits between cabinets
All these measures prevent the mixture of hot and cold air flows at the cabinet level, mitigating wellknown issues, including bypass and recirculation airflows. Minimizing these problems, at scale, is vital to optimizing data center energy efficiency.
The measures include:
1. Cabinet airflow package 2. Blanking plates
Later in this paper, we will quantify the ability of cabinets to maintain airtight seals between the hot and cold sides of IT equipment. We will also demonstrate how these measures result in substantial energyefficiency improvements for both data centers and computer room new builds and upgrades. p
