Data Center Cooling

I have taken a Data Center design course recently and I am learning some great new stuff. This course has brought a lot of important things to my attention which I couldn't see before while they were in front of my eyes! Maybe that's because I am not directly responsible for the mechanical and electrical things in our data center and I just care about the servers, the network and services on our servers. This course is about the physical infrastructure which includes power, cooling, physical structure, cabling and etc. It touches on different topics but does not go much into the details so I have started googling about the topics. APC has great documents and since I am very keen on the cooling system topic I recommend the following:

• Air Distribution Architecture Options for Mission Critical Facilities
• Explanation of Cooling and Air Conditioning Terminology for IT Pros
• Ten Steps to Solving Cooling Problems
• The Different Types of Air Conditioning Equipment for IT Environments
