Container Data Center Cooling system upgrade

HP Container Data Center

Datacenterhttp://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/4979.html ">dynamics chief technology officer Stephenworn said HP's" Super Cooling system " Consisting of 2 20-foot cabinets back-to-back, each container has 3 direct-expansion (DIRECT-EXPANSION,DX) cooling vents at the top, and it has an inlet that exceeds the normal size. The ultra large size free inlet and outlet cooling can be achieved by DX redundancy/adaptation, and the need for ultra-high HPC load management is not yet clear as to what kind of cooling fluid is used.

The cooling system is said to be superior to any cooling system in the current market. But HP did not disclose any details of the system, stressing that the system would be completely different from the current cooling system on the market.

Previously, the cooling system in HP's container data center products was designed to contain 4 variable speed fans on top of the container lid, each cabinet configured with a temperature sensor, and the fan speed could be adjusted according to the actual temperature of each cabinet.

"Patentcloud" Container data center

In fact, many manufacturers have their own unique design on the cooling system of their container data center products. For example, at the 2011 Intel Information Technology Summit (IDF) in April, the first appearance of the "Patentcloud" container data center, jointly launched by Fujitsu and Intel, was specially designed according to the northern climate, if the temperature of the container data center was below 25 degrees Celsius, The cooling system will stop cooling and direct the external cold air into the interior to form convection.

Cisco Container Data Center

And in the first container-type data center Cisco just released, also has a unique cooling system design-its water-cooled system is located under the frame of the container floor, using the cooling tube at the bottom of the cabinet to cool the hot airflow, and then through each cabinet 3 large fans on the back of the air flow cycle continuously to ensure that the entire cabinet temperature will not overheat.

In addition, the full play of Cisco's Forte management tools (Cisco Data Center Operations 360), but also to help users real-time monitoring rack temperature and other factors, and for each rack to set the desired temperature range, the software can adjust the fan speed and flow size.
