What is Demand Based Cooling?

Demand Based Cooling (DBC) is a total systems level approach to optimizing Data Center Airflow. Comprehensive data center computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and best practices are coupled with an advanced active airflow management system which monitors and manages CRAC units and adds networked adaptive airmovers to radically improve data center cooling efficency and redundancy. Since many data centers are overcooled but have airflow distribution issues, by actively controlling airflow and cooling, both efficiency (PUE) and cooling capacity are radically transformed. Data center cooling efficiency is improved by 20 to 40%, in the typical case, while cooling redundancy is simultaneously enhanced.
