Video: Intel’s Air-Side Economization Test

Posted By Rich Miller On September 18, 2008 @ 11:30 am In Data Center Videos,Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Intel data center manager Don Atwood provides an overview of the company’s proof of concept research on air-side economizers [1] (using outside air to cool the data center). He describes Intel’s New Mexico testbed for its 10-month proof-of-concept, which it found “no consistent increase in server failure rates as a result of the greater variation in temperature and humidity, and the decrease in air quality.” See our full story [1] for additional details. This video runs about 5 minutes and 15 seconds.
