Artificial intelligence is impacting the hardware and software ecosystem, driving significant changes that put data centers at a risk of becoming inadequate to handle the new requirements.
The rapid pace of innovation is increasing the difficulty in planning for future hardware needs without over investment or premature obsolescence. To achieve maximum performance while reducing energy consumption, data centers must be designed and operated by professionals whose knowledge evolves as quickly. Today’s data center environments have an infinite number of combinations, increasing the risk of overgeneralizing by designers and operators. Demand for IT services that are lower cost, more energy-efficient, provide more storage, and offer more computing capabilities is resulting in continued, significant changes in hardware and as a result its operating conditions. This is leading to the need for more mixed-use environments, combining general performance computing and high-performance computing.
This ASHRAE course examines data center best practices by focusing on ASHRAE’s evolving thermal guidelines for data processing environments, including the latest guidance around liquid cooling. While there are opportunities to save energy in data centers, understanding of equipment trends, performance measurements, and effectiveness are critical to the principal objective: Data integrity and facility uptime.
Who Should Attend?
Building owners, data center facility managers, consulting engineers, HVAC and MEP engineers, commissioning agents, contractors, IT infrastructure professionals, and operations personnel. More specifically: Professionals involved in the design, operation, maintenance, or optimization of data centers who want to gain practical knowledge of data center thermal management, air and liquid cooling best practices, performance metrics, and strategies to improve energy efficiency while maintaining reliability and uptime.
You Will Learn To:
- Understand the impact of evolving IT equipment design and the need for more mixed-use environments
- Establish best practices for data center air and liquid cooling
- Examine how to maintain integrity of data center environments to assure high availability
- Understand methods for measuring data center performance
