Hclt Whitepaper: Thermal Design And Management Of Servers

Transcript

Visit us on: www.hcltech.com In today’s digital age of rapid knowledge development, an enormous amount of information is being generated every day across the world. This data needs to be stored, processed and secured so the user can access this data quickly. Servers play a major role in this type of data-intensive business applications. The advancements in hardware, software and miniaturization technologies, along with the information evolution, has led to a vast increase in servers power densities and computing power. To improve the reliability and to enhance performance, thermal management needs to be performed in servers by removing the heat generated by the devices. This paper focuses on the role of thermal management of servers in data centers and green data centers. It also investigates the challenges faced in thermal design and management of servers. The emerging cooling technologies which have evolved over the years in the server industry will be discussed. Case studies on thermal management of servers will be presented.
