Data Center Efficiency: Shedding a 10-Ton Air Conditioner

[BillP]

Last summer, Cimarex Energy encountered a crisis in its Tulsa, Okla., data center. Its data systems, as well as the seismic and geologic data critical to its oil and gas exploration and production business, were at risk due to overheating equipment.

The server room was at capacity: There was simply no space available for equipment. And the company learned the hard way that it had packed in too much equipment for its power and cooling systems. The densely packed micro-circuitry was overheating servers and other I.T. devices.


It's no wonder the data center ran into problems.
