How Tariffs Might Impact your Data Center
f you’re thinking about adding or retrofitting cooling units, recent tariff increases could hit you in two ways—your budget and your timeline. Some replacements are unavoidable. If a system is at end-of-life or no longer supported, you have no choice. But if you’re upgrading because of higher rack densities or AI workloads, you could have more capacity than you think. Before you commit to new equipment, it’s worth checking what your current system can actually deliver.
From Liquid Cooling to BYO-Power: 4 Key Trends Shaping Data Centers
At this year’s 7x24 Exchange in Orlando, one thing was clear: the data center industry is being pushed to its limits. Between 500kW racks, liquid cooling pilots, and BYOP (Bring Your Own Power) strategies, operators are navigating a rapidly evolving environment.
Don’t Forget About Cooling Your Electrical Room
With the rise of AI and the construction of high-wattage data centers, airflow management has become a critical concern—not just in the white space, but also in supporting infrastructure such as PDU rooms, UPS rooms, and battery rooms. This article highlights the importance of airflow management in these auxiliary spaces and outlines steps to take when overheating conditions arise.
Rack Densities Are Rising Fast—And They’re Not Slowing Down
As AI workloads surge, the power—and heat—inside every rack is growing fast. Here’s what that means for your facility, and how to get ahead of the cooling curve.
Data Center 101: Cooling Unit Delta-T
This article explores how measuring and optimizing Delta-T across CRAC and CRAH units can improve data center cooling efficiency, reduce energy costs, and enhance airflow management.
The Cascading impact of Recirculated Air at the Chillers
Don’t allow recirculated air take down your Chillers. This week on Keep Your Cool, we will be exploring how recirculated air can significantly impact chiller efficiency and overall operational costs.
