I obviously didn´t mean to say that the units aren´t sufficiently cooled (or the walls would start melting at such a high density).
I only stated that it wasn´t optimised
to the fullest extent which I think is a fair comment to make.
This can be seen by the empty, not sealed spaces between units, effectively creating "holes" in the hot air containment system (if this exists behind the units, which cannot be seen).
If anyone wants to share their unit temperatures inside this facility, feel free to do so.
A good example of an optimised hosting facilty can be seen here:
http://toom.im/images/three_full_racks.jpgWhen the racks are full (which they are to my knowledge) the lower static pressure caused by the exhaust fans in the hot aisle actually increases airflow through the units, outside air is cooled by evaporative coolers.
Jtoomim´s system seems to be a little more complicated but such a high density without any active AC is astonishing.
The footprint is smaller and the amount of hosted hardware is higher than in bobsag´s facility.
, I'd say Mr. bobSCAMg, packed them in a little too tight.
