About that EDS Datacenter…

EDS LogoRemember yesterday when I mentioned the swank HP/EDS datacenter in the UK that’s being atypically cooled? Good, because more information about it is coming to light.

Rich Miller of Data Center Knowledge did some digging and came upon one of the most intriguing design elements: a 12-foot raised floor!

The fresh air will be introduced into the plenum by 7-foot high low-velocity fans designed to maintain a consistent air pressure across the entire room/plenum. Slotted vents in the ceiling allow the fresh air to enter the cold aisles of the data center, which are fully-enclosed by a cold-aisle containment system.

The result is more consistent, energy efficient cooling. Go HP!
