In the rapidly changing world of technology, it is of the utmost importance to keep server rooms in optimum condition. At HP, the way we see it, server room cooling in enterprise conditions is something that should be done with three things in mind: precision, reliability, and innovation. To this end, we start with an assessment of the server room as a whole. The goal is to get an understanding of the unique server room thermal load. What we are really after is the ins and outs of heat output from the server room's equipment, air dynamics in and around the room, and any environmental factors that might influence the room's thermal load. Once we comprehend the room and its cooling needs, we can think about how to solve the problem in a sensible way—reliably and with an eye to future room expansion.
Our cooling solutions are fundamentally energy-efficient. We consume less and waste nothing. We accomplish this through a number of strategies, the first of which relies on advanced technology. Our systems are not what you might commonly think of as a "cooling system". They are not simple, stand-alone units that blow cold air around. They employ the latest in cooling technology, married with smart design. We cool by using "Variable Refrigerant Flow" systems, and when need requires it, by using "Two-Phase" or "Liquid" cooling systems, and in all cases "smart airflow management" allows us to achieve a necessary goal, which is a well-cooled, low-energy-use environment.
We value the strategic alliances and the excessive and unflagging innovation that accompany them. We are always on the lookout for reasons to be first, something we can always do if we associate with not only the best companies but also the best thinkers in the industry. We partner with leading manufacturers and research institutions. We are heavy investors in R&D and in the required risk that experimentation demands. Cooling is what we do. We live it. We understand all its nuances. And, because of that and our partnerships, we work every day to build a better set of comprehensive support solutions so that our clients can build reliable and efficient data infrastructures.
