Just take a look at our coolingZONE’s front page of industry press releases and you’ll see a wide number all related to data center cooling. With cloud computing being a leading trend in IT, it makes perfect sense. Also recently we’ve seen where cooling at the rack level will outpace cooling at the data center level itself. HP has implemented a technology that takes advantage of this trend and they call it, “Sea of Sensors”. In HP’s words:
The HP Sea of Sensors automatically track thermal activity across the server through a collection of 32 smart sensors. The sensors dynamically adjust system components such as fans, memory and input/output processing to optimize system cooling and increase efficiency.
HP was kind enough to make public a 15 minute video on how Sea of Sensors work, and our readers can see it here:
