Opengate presents on; Data Center Wide Managed Cooling Distribution at Uptime’s Green IT Symposium, Wednesday April 15 2009, NYC

Deploying high-density racks in quantity and locating these racks anywhere on the data center floor may seem out of reach. However, with managed cooling distribution systems, it’s not only possible but it allows full utilization of cooling resources!

Many joined us at Uptime Institute’s Lean, Clean and Green Symposium where Opengate presented on Data Center Wide Managed Cooling Distribution for High-Density Computing.

Many learned how to manage the following:

1. All IT exhaust heat has a direct return path
2. Raise supply air temperature to the ASHRAE limit
3. No waste - all cool air delivered is fully consumed
4. IT loads are divorced from cooling source locations
5. Cool supply air delivery method is flexible

Maximize Stability, Efficiency & IT Flexibility. Opengate EC Cooling Distribution Systems dynamically scale to the IT load real-time. Perfectly control the IT environment, fully utilize cooling infrastructure, deploy high density racks anywhere and expand without disrupting your IT operation.

WP# EC901: Deployment of high density IT equipment into data center infrastructure is now a common occurrence. Many data centers are not adequately equipped to handle the additional high density cooling requirements. This results in non-desirable conditions such as recirculation or mixing of hot and cool air, poorly controlled humidity and costly over-provisioning…

Opengate was a Research Underwriter of the Uptime Institute’s Lean, Clean & Green Symposium & Exposition at the New York Hilton from April 13 - 16, and Opengate extended special invitations to attend this year’s event at a VIP discount rate of 50% off regular tuition.

The Institute’s Symposium was a recognized industry-wide as the agenda setting event of the year bringing together the highest level and widest variety of industry stakeholders. This year’s incredible Game-Changing Keynote speakers included Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tom Friedman; Bill Weihl, Google’s Green Energy “Czar”;IBM; Hewlett Packard; Department of Energy; EPA Energy Star; McKinsey & Co. Please visit www.uptimeinstitute.org/keynote for an impressive list of industry experts.

The Symposium provided dozens of interactive sessions and many walked away from them loaded with implement-able ideas and valuable strategies. The Symposium content is always at the highest level and the networking is unsurpassed.

As the Institute says, “What you don’t know CAN hurt you.”
