In data centers across the country, consistent and reliable data center
operations is continually being compromised by data center hot spots. As
manufacturers continue to introduce high-heat density equipment and computer
room capacity requirements grow, data center hot spots will get worse.

"
This white paper, written by the Uptime Institute, is based on years of
conducting computer room monitoring, testing, surveys, and case study
research, which was gathered to pinpoint the causes behind data center
cooling and data center management issues.
The findings are counter to original beliefs that insufficient computer
room air conditioning units or high heat densities were the underlying cause
of computer room cooling issues. After collecting more than 15,000
individual measurements in 19 computer rooms ranging in size and capacity,
the culprit was actually an issue called “bypass airflow.”
This White Paper Presents:
- What’s Happening in the Computer Room – how uncontrolled
cooling causes excessive data center heat loads and how previous
tactics, such as increasing computer room air conditioning units, only
made problems worse
- Why and How Issues Arise – case studies show how bypass
airflow occurs
- Testing and What to Avoid – the best ways to conduct
remediation testing and baseline case studies
- Problem Solving – recovering wasted bypass airflow
- Getting Results – statistic based improvements, which reduced
bypass airflow and computer room temperatures
- Addition Benefits – eliminating hot spots increased the
performance of data center operations while saving energy, reducing
operating expenses and capital investments related to computer room air
conditioning units
