With ever increasing demands for more computing power but limited space to include more equipment,
blade servers and ultra-high density racks are showing up in more and more data centers. The problem, though,
is how to keep all this new equipment, as well as existing servers, cool. Our heating and cooling
playbook will inform you about several approaches, from data center design and layout, to new technologies that keep servers
and racks from overheating in the first place.
