How higher temperature, humidity affects data center, IT equipment | Cabling Installation & Maintenance

A new white paper from The Green Grid looks at how environmental parameters of increased temperature and humidity can affect IT equipment, examining reliability and energy usage as the data center's operating range is extended.

Using recently published ASHRAE data, the paper addresses misconceptions related to the application of higher operating temperatures. In addition, it explores the hypothesis that data center efficiency can be further improved by employing a wider operational range without substantive impacts on reliability or service availability.
