Companies can reduce their outgoings by organising their data centres and server racks in a specific format, it has been claimed.
According to ITWorld, bosses should sit down and ascertain which equipment is needed and disposing of apparatus which is surplus to requirements.
In eliminating unnecessary servers firms do not have to pay to run or cool them, the news provider claims.
Also, companies can implement a hot aisle-cool aisle philosophy by arranging their server racks ion a particular formation.
By adopting this method, fan intakes on racks across from each other are facing while the exhausts on neighbouring racks do the same.
The publication claims this formation reduces heat generation and in addition, prolongs the life of the equipment.
Meanwhile, Colfax recently claimed the high level of noise made by server racks is one of the main obstacles to companies adopting high-performance computing.
A solution to the problem is Silentium's Active Noise Control system, the firm believes.
