A hyperscale data center is designed to support maximum workloads and scalability for companies with significant and increasing data processing and storage needs. They typically contain thousands of servers with differing densities and are engineered for optimal network connectivity.
Requirements
Hyperscale data centers require very high-efficiency deployments, while minimising chiller plant and capex costs.
Cooling equipment with in-built redundancy features are essential in supporting maximum workloads to ensure UPS. Rapid re-start capabilities ensure that the equipment is back at full capacity following a power re-enable in the minimum amount of time. This is particularly critical for AI loads that require rapid power acceleration.
Cooling equipment with a large capacity range enables future scalability as IT loads inevitably expand.
Our Recommendations
For the high-density racks that require liquid cooling, we would recommend a combination of air-cooled chillers and CDUs for the direct-to-chip cooled component.
Combining this with indirect evaporative cooling units handles the auxiliary air-cooled loads, such as networking and storage racks, which typically have a lower density.
An enterprise data center is owned and operated by a single organisation to support its internal IT needs.
