Cool times in the Hot Data Center

I came across two recent papers regarding maximizing cooling in current facilities as well as planning for new facilities.

Many data center managers are experimenting with ways to minimize current power costs in terms of virtualization. However, that is only one piece of the puzzle. A second piece is arranging operations to decrease costs. Both articles are a good reference as you attempt to reorganize operations to meet your internal green standards and minimize costs.
