What are the benefits of evaporative cooling designs for hyperscale? Let's discuss...

Just as new hyperscale cloud data centers are sprouting up globally -- and projected to reach 500 by 2020, so, too, are hyperscale rack power densities on a steep, steady rise – on purpose and by design -- to meet exploding workload demand.

Outside "free" air economizers combined with adiabatic evaporative cooling techniques are finding favor as a way to remove heat to meet the new ASHRAE guidelines. Pre-built adiabatic cooling units can save hyperscale data center millions of mechanical cooling systems and power utilization costs while simultaneously improving uptime resiliency.

Join this expert panel conversation to examine how designing for pre-built evaporative cooling technology can reduce both mechanical systems and PUE costs while improving data center performance and resilience.

  • What are the benefits that operators should expect from designing new data center builds including evaporative cooling? CapEx? OpEx? TCO?
  • Can existing facilities be cost-effectively retrofitted with pre-built adiabatic units?
  • What are the key critical environmental sustainability considerations in designing for evaporative cooling?
