The large and power-dense IT infrastructures that drive cloud computing create intense demands on the data center infrastructure. Large-scale computing and storage deployments in very dense configurations demand maximum efficiency and capacity from the data center power and cooling environment

HP knows it isn't enough to provide IT to support cloud computing – customers need to ensure that their data centers can support load, provide maximum efficiency and flexibility.  Varying approaches are required in each data center, and HP offers a broad portfolio of products and services including data center assessments and design services, active cooling solutions and power management and distribution.  Whether it's design of new data center facilities, optimizing operations and energy use, or actively managing the infrastructure itself, HP can help.


Data Center infrastructure solutions

Dynamic Smart Cooling

HP created Dynamic Smart Cooling to enable data center cooling infrastructure to dynamically adjust to data center needs 24 x 7.  By continually monitoring the temperature through a sophisticated sensor array throughout the data center, and interacting with the specific air handlers that address each part of the data center, DSC ensures cooling is delivered when and where it’s needed – while maximizing savings, and freeing up available cooling capacity.  DSC can safely reduce data center cooling energy costs up to 45%.

Modular Cooling System

The HP Modular Cooling System is the solution for hot spots in the data center, providing close-coupled cooling for up to 35 kW of power in a single rack.  HP MCS is a closed solution within the data center that attaches to one or two racks, ensuring cooling for huge power densities while removing heat load from the data center.  Designed for scale-out environments, MCS ensures that even the most power-dense deployments can scale and run seamlessly.

Power Distribution Rack

The HP Power Distribution Rack (PDR) improves power management in the data center by moving power distribution to the row level. Decentralizing power improves cable management, decreases diagnostic time for problems, and saves installation costs by reducing the size and number of long power feeds required to reach from large wall mounted distribution units. Housed in a single HP 10000 G2 42U rack, the PDR also saves floor space and allows you to move heat robbing transformers off of the data center floor improving cooling.

These and other infrastructure solutions work together with the embedded technology in HP servers and storage, increasing available data center capacity, and maximizing the efficiency of HP platforms.
