In this episode Paul Surdykowski talks to Brandon Peccoralo, General Manager at DataBank, Ltd. Data Center who support Cloud, Network and Cyber Security. The Midtown Atlanta Data Center is a purpose built high performance, high compute facility which has chosen USystems liquid cooling technology. They discuss the cost of cooling and the desire to do it in the most efficient and effective way, you want to bring the cooling technology as close to the heat source as possible – like with a 6 pack of Cola, you wouldn’t cool the entire kitchen to keep it cool, you would put it in the the fridge. With a new Data Centre like ATL1 you may only have three or four customers in the back, by using traditional methods like CRAC units you are cooling an largely empty room. The benefit of USystems ColdLogik Rear Door Cooler is the ability to isolate each individual cabinet by its exact usage, meaning you go from average PUE levels of 1.6-1.8 right down to 1.2. Paul and Brandon also discuss how Rear Door Cooling enables you to have 100% recycled, closed loop, water system.

USystems Freddy Briffitt and guest star Host In Ireland, An Industry of Substance Founder and President, Garry Connolly talk about the why of data and the how of centres. Data is vital in today’s world and people in every aspect of the Data Centre industry should be proud of the work we do. Data’s always been, along with people, the two most important assets that human mankind has ever possessed. There’s a very real carbon challenge and that confluence coming together, data is the only solution, data needs to be in centers. And therefore there’s the nearly a perfect storm developing, creating a world where won’t be a non-green data center in the world functioning for any of the large players. If there is in 10 years, we will have failed as a global industry.
