Don't lose your cool; identify data center cooling vendors for the enterprise.
- The decision regarding cooling for the data center is important, as the cooling unit protects the critical environment from disturbances and failures.
- Cooling the data center can amount to approximately 50% of the operating cost in the data center, making efficiency and reliability of cooling units more important than ever.

Our Advice
Critical Insight
- In the past, data centers were flooded with cold air that rose from the floor to the ceilings, cooling the contents of the entire room. This method has given way to more efficient and targeted approaches that aim at cooling only the servers at the rack and row levels.
- Precision cooling solutions should not be assessed on table stakes; when the table stakes are all you need, enterprises should differentiate on price, scalability, and vendor support.
- The data center precision cooling market is made up of long-term viable players with traditional cooling solutions, and cutting edge vendors with unique and innovative products
