ABSTRACT:
The installation of blade servers into an existing data center is guaranteed to stress existing power and cooling systems. Blade servers draw up to 20 times the electrical power per rack, and generate up to 20 times the heat per rack, compared with what the average data center was designed for. To use blade servers, the power and cooling infrastructure in a data center must be upgraded, or the blade server loads must be spread out over multiple racks. Compounding this problem, operational data centers typically cannot be shut down to perform installations and upgrades.
Learn about the five methods that can be used to deploy blade servers and how to avoid these common pitfalls. This paper provides guidelines for determining the appropriate power and cooling strategy, based on the needs and constraints of a specific installation.
