Data centers have always produced heat. For most of the industry’s history, the goal was simple: get that heat out of the building as efficiently as possible. Move the air. Reject the heat. Keep the servers alive. That mindset made sense when data center heat was...

For years, data center efficiency was judged mostly by one number: PUE. Power Usage Effectiveness gave the industry a simple way to measure how much total facility energy was required to support the energy actually consumed by IT equipment. If a data center had a PUE...

For most of the data center industry’s history, cooling was treated as a facility system that supported the IT load. Servers produced heat, mechanical systems removed it, and electrical teams made sure enough power was available to keep everything running. The two...
