"Power and Cooling", a video presentation, uses vivid computer modeling to illustrate why traditional trial-and-error approaches are inadequate for effective thermal management . Data center cooling costs now account for half of all power-related outlays. And they continue to soar. But cutting these costs — while at the same time improving availability and capacity — is achievable. The trick is knowing how.

This video explores how sophisticated computer analysis of airflow patterns and temperature distribution, combined with energy efficiency best practices, can help you guard against over-provisioning and eliminate hotspots.
