Influence of increasing air supply temperature on data centers

This paper explains the influence of increasing air supply temperature on data centers. The IT facilities deployed in modern data centers are mainly rack servers that are different from the IT rooms where mainframes and minicomputers are deployed in the past. The rack servers can accept higher air supply temperature, and the impact on server performance can be controlled by adjusting the operation policy. In addition, it can also reduce the initial investment and the energy consumption of air conditioning.
