Edge data centers can be many things, from telecoms exchanges in the middle of nowhere to colo facilities in town. But which solutions will keep them all reliably cooled?

Surprisingly, perhaps, some of the smallest components in a data center cooling system can provide some of the most significant savings

The cooling challenge has intensified as data centers have become bigger and systems more complex. What can data center operators do to ensure resilience, save money and slash carbon emissions?

Modular data centers are finding homes in hospitals, banks, the military, and, of course, at the Edge. But will the critical cooling they need be up to the task?

Ron Spangler of Vertiv talks to DCD about air cooling, and how developments in liquid cooling will lead to a hybrid data center merging the best of both worlds

Heat exchangers need to be designed bespoke for the application in order to maximize energy efficiency, says Alfa Laval’s Anna Blomborg

Data centers are prodigious users of water, but attempts to reduce on-site water usage often just shifts water usage upstream to power generation, argues Excool’s Jon Pettitt

And how they propose you solve it

The design of data center cooling systems must be based on an in-depth understanding of regional water quality, especially in Southeast Asia, says Nalco Water’s Dr Peter Wang Peng

Leaks of any size are a major concern for data centers – even a small leak can become a catastrophe. How can they be detected before any damage is done?

Green Revolution’s new Series 10 offers twice the power in a completely integrated system, says GRC’s Ben Smith

If you can buy a jet engine ‘as-a-service’, why not data center cooling? asks Airsys USA president Paul Quigley

Relocates staff 40 miles to Botetourt County to meet increased demand

Mirela Dumitrache is an industry veteran with 15+ years of experience. But data center technology moves fast and training is vital to keep up, she says
