WHITE PAPER - This paper describes the principles for achieving power and cooling capacity management.
WHITE PAPER - In this paper, you'll learn why high-efficiency AC will likely emerge as the dominant choice for data center power distribution. Topics covered include a review of the characteristics of AC & DC distribution, A mathematical model of the efficiency of two different AC distribution systems, and Why many of the DC benefits are unfounded.
WHITE PAPER - This white paper details how self-contained high-density zones enable a reliable operation of high-density equipment without impacting a low-density data center.
WHITE PAPER - Specifying data center density has yet to conform to an established standard within the industry. This paper describes the science and practical application of an improved method for the specification of power and cooling infrastructure for data centers.
WHITE PAPER - This paper examines hot and cold air containment and highlights the reasons why hot aisle containment emerges as the preferred best practice.
WHITE PAPER - This paper contrasts room, row and rack architectures and shows why row-oriented cooling will emerge as the preferred solution for most next generation data centers.
WHITE PAPER - This paper presents a framework for project management roles and relationships that is understandable, comprehensive, and adaptable to any size project.
WHITE PAPER - The planning sequence described in this paper covers the design of the data center's physical infrastructure layer, whose job it is to house, power, cool, and protect the data center's computing and network functions.

Generate numerous "what if" scenarios to help support your virtualization, power sizing, efficiency, power density, and cooling decisions. APC TradeOff Tools are designed to reduce complexity by helping data center professionals quickly identify their data center preferences and weigh those preferences against their budgetary and physical environment constraints.
