Move to a Hot Aisle/Cold Aisle Layout
A Time-tested Technique The hot aisle /cold aisle data center layout was originated by IBM in 1992 and it is one of the oldest ways to save energy in the data center.

ASHRAE recommends a temperature range of 18°C to 27°C (64°F to 80°F) and humidity levels between 40% and 60%. Proper control of these factors prevents overheating, condensation, corrosion, and static electricity, which can damage equipment. It is also helpful to know whether the equipment is in series with critical IT equipment (i. light g power panel) since this may influence the selection of the power equipm ion of data center. It plays a crucial role in natural processes, such as the ability of air to hold moisture. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) provides critical guidelines for data center cooling systems to ensure optimal performance, energy efficiency, and equipment longevity.
