Keeping data centres cool: Fast scalable and reliable cooling solutions
Temporary and emergency data centre cooling solutions
With rising global temperatures, more complex data centre technologies and aggressive demand growth, maintaining optimal temperatures in operational data centres is more critical than ever.
From facility operations, maintenance and repairs, to upgrades and expansions, Aggreko’s temporary cooling solutions can act as a quick, reliable and efficient bridge when permanent cooling systems fail or become unavailable.
When cooling becomes a challenge
Operational data centres face unique cooling challenges, from needing to adapt to fluctuating demand to responding to seasonal changes and rapid growth. These challenges can strain existing systems or require additional capacity when permanent systems are taken offline, posing a threat to performance, efficiency, and uptime if left unaddressed.
Some common obstacles include:
- Cooling system overload - Existing systems struggle to manage peak demand or extreme temperatures, risking server overheating and system failures.
- Insufficient system redundancy & backup - When permanent systems in live environments must be taken offline for maintenance or repairs, insufficient redundancy can put performance and operational reliance at risk.
- Equipment supply constraints - Extended lead times, rising copper prices, and supply chain disruptions impact the on-time deployment of essential HVAC units and other cooling technologies.
- Scalability & flexibility - Traditional cooling systems may not be suited to quickly respond to a data center’s need to scale up or down their cooling capacity, leading to potential performance, cost and energy consumption issues.
