Overview
Today's IT managers are facing increasing power and cooling challenges. According to recent IDC studies, over the past 10 years the average cost to power and cool the installed base of servers has risen from $0.25 per dollar spent on new servers to $0.50 per each new server dollar spent. With the increased adoption of high-density computing form factors such as blades, this problem is not likely to lessen in the near term; in fact, if anything, it will likely be further exacerbated by the need for enterprises to run increasingly complex workloads.

In this white paper, read about innovative technologies and service delivery methods to provide customers with a detailed analysis of their data center's thermal environment, optimize data center temperature controls to lower operating costs, increase capacity, and improve reliability.
