As high-density IT deployments increase, many legacy data centers are struggling to keep pace—not because of space or IT limitations, but due to cooling constraints. This article examines why simply adding more cooling equipment isn’t always viable, explores the common causes of stranded capacity, and outlines practical strategies to improve thermal efficiency and unlock headroom—without overhauling your infrastructure.

It can be hard to evaluate cooling resiliency while your Data Center is live. Check out this case study where Purkay Labs used their new predictive analysis feature that combines real-time data and prediction on how long a client's data center had if their cooling units went down.
