Air Conditioning
Data Centre cooling is becoming a significant industry issue as CPU processing power and demand for high density hosting continues to increase.
More powerful CPUs result in far greater heat ouput per machine. Many legacy data centres built in the 80's and 90's are incapable of handling high density equipment. However major trends toward blade server hosting and virtualised environments are making this requirement a necessity.
InRow™ Cooling & Hot Aisle Containment
Maxnet's superior capability is in part due to its deployment of InRow™ cooling systems combined with Hot Aisle Containment technology. We are capable of cooling cabinets with a 30kW power draw - 10 times the capability of your typical legacy data centre. This technology is deployed by our HA Rack Space services.
Scalable Infrastructure
However its the overall scalability of our entire cooling infrastructure enables us to meet ever increasing demand for cooling. It has been designed with significant growth in demand in mind.
Green IT
Our adopted technology is highly efficient - it has a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of up to 14. By way of comparison, high wall air conditioning units typically used for cooling office hosted server environments have a COP of 2. In other words, for every 1 kW of power consumed by the cooling unit, it produces 2kW of cooling. Our system produces up to 14kW of cooling for every 1 kW inputted.
This efficiency gain is not just good business but also good for the environment. It is one of many Green IT initiatives being put in place by Maxnet to reduce the carbon footprint of Maxnet and its server hosted customers.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding our cooling infrastructure and how we can reduce your carbon footprint.
