Datacom equipment technology is advancing at a rapid pace, resulting in relatively short product cycles and an increased frequency of datacom equipment upgrades. Because datacom facilities and their associated HVAC infrastructure are typically built to have longer life cycles, any modern datacom facility needs the ability to seamlessly accommodate the multiple datacom equipment deployments it will experience during its lifetimeBased on the latest information from leading datacom equipment manufacturers, this second edition of Datacom Equipment Power Trends and Cooling Applications provides new and expanded datacom equipment power trend charts through 2020 to allow datacom facility designers to more accurately predict the equipment loads their facilities will need to accommodate in the future and supplies ways of applying the trend information to datacom facility designs todayThis edition also enhances the server power trends by including trends for the number of sockets and includes a new chapter with practical information on how to apply the trends in a data center environmentAlso included is an overview of various air- and liquid-cooling system options for handling future loads and an invaluable appendix containing terms and definitions used by datacom equipment manufacturers, the facilities operation industry, and the cooling design and construction industryThis book is the second in the ASHRAE Datacom Series, authored by ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9, Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment. This series provides comprehensive treatment of datacom cooling and related subjects Read Less
