The HP Performance Optimized Datacenter 240a (EcoPOD) is an extremely efficient, high-performance data center solution. This article summarizes its IT capacity, power capacity, Adaptive Cooling technology, and management and monitoring systems. It also illustrates possible energy savings. Future articles will provide more details about its systems and technologies. IT capacity The EcoPOD contains 2,200U of rack space, suitable for 44 50U racks. This IT capacity is equivalent to a 10,000 ft2 (3,048 m2) traditional data center, but at one-tenth the space. The EcoPOD consists of two 40 ft IT modules with a common 8-ft-wide (2,438 mm) hot aisle that allows you to easily remove and service IT equipment (Figure 1-1). Above the IT modules, four cradles each contain six Direct Expansion (DX) air conditioning units (24 units total). Figure 1-1. HP Performance Optimized Datacenter 240a Follow us: Like us:
