Gaining Data Center Cooling Efficiency Through Airflow ManagementUpsite Technologies
This presentation highlights research from Upsite Technologies regarding the latest best in data center airflow management and cooling, including steps to improvement. Originally delivered by Upsite President John Thornell at the AFCOM Boston-New England Chapter meeting.
Eliminating Data Center Hot Spots: An Approach for Identifying and Correcting Lost Air
Data center cooling is a hot topic. But, when you consider the challenges associated with cooling the latest generation servers, the growing cost of infrastructure equipment, and the risks associated with data center hot spots brought on by high-density clusters and premature hardware failure, it's easy to understand the focus.

Data Center Cooling System Design: Reducing Cooling Costs and Power Consumpti...SimScale
Adequate data center rack cooling with the highest possible energy efficiency is one of the most critical aspects of DCIM. It is crucial to ensure sufficient mixing in the cold aisle, which is mainly depending on the supply flow rate and temperature.
This presentation was used in a free webinar hosted by SimScale, a cloud-based simulation platform. Watch the recording below to learn how computational fluid dynamics simulations can help you reduce the cooling cost of an existing data center by optimizing the supply air temperature and the supply air flow rate, based on the CFD results and cost functions.

Cooling Optimization 101: A Beginner's Guide to Data Center CoolingUpsite Technologies
As new personnel enter the industry, they are often bombarded with a slew of buzz words and marketing messages that would lead them to believe that data centers almost run themselves. And while monitoring and DCIM solutions are improving the management of power and cooling, an understanding of the fundamental science is crucial to both see through the hype and get the most out of management systems. More so, as the veterans in our industry start to retire, much of the basic knowledge around power and cooling is often overlooked when training their successors. This session will provide that basic knowledge and give a fundamental understanding of the power and cooling infrastructure in a data center, with an emphasis on cooling optimization. In this session, you’ll learn how to recover stranded cooling capacity, reduce operating costs, improve IT equipment reliability, and prolong the life and capacity of the data center.

When it comes to designing, building, and operating mission-critical data centers, simple is better. Data centers are faster and cheaper to build, and more reliable with lower total cost of ownership (TCO), when they start with a dramatically simplified design and build process that incorporates these elements: reference designs, pre-fabricated/modular architecture, partners that bring comprehensive capabilities into play, and coordinated planning around software, operations, and service. What you will learn: The top 5 weaknesses of today’s design/bid/build approach A simplified approach using reference designs and pre-fab products can preserve Day 1 capital and improve speed to market An integrated solution provider (Design, Build, Hardware and Operations) can optimize CapEx, OpEx and TCO.

Data Center Lessons Learned at an Intel data center. Innovations in cost and energy savings in high-density data centers including: air economizer, retrofit of factory builiding, high efficiency air-cooled cabinets, and a container data center proof-of-concept.
4 steps to quickly improve pue through airflow managementUpsite Technologies
It’s well known that cooling typically accounts for around half of a data center's total power consumption. Given this, it's imperative that cooling is optimized to achieve a low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). While this too may be common knowledge, the question still remains, how can this be done quickly, with all possible benefits realized, and with the fastest return on investment?
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the underlying science behind data center airflow management and how applying best practices can make the greatest impact on the computer room, both in terms of energy savings and capacity.

Structured Cabling Technologies for NetworkingTharindu Kumara
Structured cabling is building or campus telecommunications cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems.(wikipedia)
Current Building Construction for new K-12 Schools, Higher Educational facilities, and Hospitals require much more than an Ad-Hoc approach to technology design and this presentation provides some of the basic standards that should be followed.
Industrial Ethernet, Part 1: TechnologiesControlEng
Industrial Ethernet implementations continue to gain traction on the plant floor and in process plants. What are the key industrial Ethernet technologies being installed today and why? Learn from automation system integrators about criteria used to choose types of switches, cabling, and topologies being applied for industrial Ethernet applications. Ethernet survey results are discussed. An exam and certificate are available for one professional development hour (PDH), according to Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP) rules from the American Council of Engineering Companies.
SUN-ODN-OP-IS-16W Fiber Optic Distribution Box
Sun Telecom's SUN-ODN-OP-IS-16W fiber optic distribution box is widely used as a termination poir for the connection of feeder cable and drop cable in FTTx communication network system. The fiber splicing, distribution, splitting, termination can be done inside the box. lt provides solid protection and management for the FTTx networks
The components and basic properties of the 100BASE-TX physical layer for industrial wired ethernet, the “invisible” signal coding (4B/5B, scrambling, MLT3), the actual voltage signals on the copper wires, and some signal and packet measurement methods are discussed. Actual measurements in PROFINET networks illustrate signal properties, bits, bytes and messages.

3. Standards
What are Standards?
• Standards represent the minimum required to maintain
compliance.
• Principally about achieving minimum performance from
products / standards driven by applications – not end users.
• Standards are considered to be living documents.
• It is important that the region specific standards are quoted
in the design and implementation.
4. Regional Standard Bodies
Who are the national or regional standard bodies?
• The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) produces worldwide standards
generated by country members.
• European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization CENELEC produces European
standards generated by EU country members.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) produces North American standards.
INTERNATIONAL EUROPEUSA
ISO/IEC CENELECANSI/TIA
5. Who Else Is Out There?
Standards and guidance is generated to support Design,
Implementation, Methods and Products interoperability.
There are many ways of doing the job:
Trade Bodies and Standards publication.
ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute).
ITU (International Telecommunications Union).
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc).
Manufacturers recommendations.
Methods Manuals.
Design Guidelines.

14. Highlights from EN 50173-1
Introduces the concept of environmental classification M.I.C.E. (Mechanical, Ingress, Climatic and
Chemical, Electromagnetic).
Environmental Class

Mechanical rating M1 M2 M3
Ingress rating I1 I2 I3
Climatic and chemical rating C1 C2 C3
Electromagnetic rating E1 E2 E3
• The requirements of a given classification cover the requirements of a lower classification, i.e.
channels designed to operate under environmental conditions defined by M2 shall continue to
operate under environmental conditions by M1.
• Specifies Channels for balanced and optical fibre cabling media.
• Specifies the minimum component requirements in support of these cabling elements.
• Provides a list of applications supported by generic cabling systems.

better than the corresponding channel coupling attenuation requirements,
then the ANEXT requirements are met by design. Effectively this means that
testing and validation for ANEXT is not required on site.

(cont.)
Optical Fibre Cabling Items
Optical fibre adapters and connectors should be protected from dust and
other contaminants, specifically while they are in an unmated state.
End faces of connectors shall be inspected according to ISO/IEC 14763-3 and
subsequently cleaned when necessary, prior to connection.
Maximum mated connector insertion loss:
• 100% ≤0.75dB;
• 95% ≤0.50dB;
• 50% ≤0.35dB.
• The TO shall present a duplex LC connector that complies with IEC 61754-
