Cooling Solutions: Key Considerations
 Ability to adapt to unknown variables including power
densities that are increasing and unpredictable
 Elimination of hot spots within the room and the rack
 Dynamic heat loads and virtualization
 Minimize total cost of ownership
 Ensure stable inlet temperatures to IT equipment at all levels
of the rack
 Flexibility to add cooling as the demand increases

Cooling Solutions: APC Capabilities
 Scalable solutions capable of handling IT equipment heat loads
from 1 to 30 kW per rack
 Intelligent monitoring and dynamic controls system to adjust to
fluctuating IT heat loads and airflow requirements
 Efficiently address data center cooling needs through the
implementation of a hybrid architecture
 Minimize TCO through variable fan technology and right-sized
components
 Heat removal at the source to eliminate mixing and ensure
uniform inlet temperatures to the rack
