Active management of equipment cooling in hoteling data centers

Abstract

Hoteling data centers are designated for housing computing and storage units of many, usually small customers, as opposed to traditional data centers supporting own computing and storage resources of a bigger company. One of the services to be provided to consumer’s equipment is cooling. Cooling in data centers is prevalently achieved by circulating air in computer room. Efficient cooling requires delivering cold air from central cooling units directly to the equipment that needs it, in appropriate quantity, and at the right time. But with centralized cooling, hot spots and cold spots arise in computer room, caused by uneven, uncontrolled heat generation. The proposed active cold air flow management is to periodically input data from sensors into a model which calculates parameters at every floor localization based on measurements taken at the most reliable measurement locations. Such model has been created and verified by implementation in an industrial data center
