Project on server room management

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

The electrical transmission at UBC is reaching its capacity. Reducing electricity consumption can delay the implementation of new infrastructures and reduce GHG emission. Server rooms are often over-cooled because IT manager are reluctant to allow high operating temperature which may decrease the dependability of server equipment. This report will determine the feasibility of reducing energy consumption by raising the operational temperature in the Fred Kaiser server room while maintaining a healthy environment for the equipment. The results will be based on costs calculations, technical interviews, and failure estimations. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community. The reader should bear in mind that this is a student project/report and is not an official document of UBC. Furthermore readers should bear in mind that these reports may not reflect the current status of activities at UBC. We urge you to contact the research persons mentioned in a report or the SEEDS Coordinator about the current status of the subject matter of a project/report.”
