Authored by Robert F. Sullivan Ph. D., the new white paper examines how bypass airflow is the main culprit in causing data center hotspots. Uptime Institute defines bypass airflow as conditioned air that does not reach computer equipment. In non-optimal environmental conditions, the air is instead escaping through cable cut-outs, holes under cabinets, misplaced perforated tiles, or even through holes in the computer room perimeter walls underneath the raised floor.
The white paper offers recommendations for addressing this growing, yet easy-to-solve, problem.
