How much of your power goes to cooling?
The increase in computing power required by AI workloads is making cooling an increasingly important part of data centre energy efficiency. The more computing capacity is concentrated within racks, the more heat needs to be removed and the more energy is required to support that process. One of the indicators used to measure this efficiency is PUE, Power Usage Effectiveness, defined by Uptime Institute as the ratio between the total energy used by a data centre and the energy consumed directly by its IT equipment. The closer the value is to 1, the less additional energy the infrastructure requires to …
