Earlier this month we took a look at CRAC and CRAH upgrades. Just how many data centers are taking the plunge and either retrofitting or upgrading? This infographic flyer from Vertiv takes a look at current thermal upgrade activity.

Another year has come and gone. For some of you, this means your data center cooling equipment is another year older, and it may not be running as efficiently as you'd like.
So, the question becomes, to replace or not to replace? If you choose to replace the old equipment with the latest and greatest Vertiv has to offer, a whole lot of comfort and reliability will come with your purchase. If you’re on a much tighter budget, however, retrofitting your current equipment could be a viable option that will help you save energy today, while allowing it to last a few more years before you have to take the big leap to buy all new equipment. While possible equipment upgrades that can be considered include Liebert® iCOM™ and Liebert® EC fans, one equipment replacement might be a Liebert® DSE™.
Before you make up your mind though, it’s best to consider your different options and how they would effect your annual energy costs in the coming years. Would you be saving big with one option over the other? And, if so, how long will it take for these energy savings to cover the cost of the project? For a breakdown of these possible costs (and more) take a look at two options that Vertiv presents in a retrofit payback scenario.

For the third year in a row, Vertiv has consulted with their experts from around the world, to compile a list of trends they predict will most affect the data center industry.
This year’s list, which is meant to serve as an anticipatory tool to help IT professionals look to the future, predicts and discusses trends that will further simplify "the edge" and create a “workforce revolution” as we begin to see a growing amount of new IT professionals replace outgoing retirees.

When it comes to running a cost efficient and energy efficient data center, science is key. More specifically, the science behind tried and true tools and calculators can go a long way. Before you try to reinvent the wheel, check out DVL's invaluable resources, including several from Vertiv and Geist, that will help you optimize your data center's power and cooling.
Currently, we have seven great tools that will help you determine your infrastructure's sizing, power, and thermal needs. These resources include:

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vertiv, formerly Emerson Network Power, has acquired Energy Labs, a privately owned, U.S.-based manufacturer of custom air handling systems. The acquisition strengthens Vertiv’s leading position in the data center thermal management space and enables expansion into commercial and industrial segments with industry-leading cooling solutions.
