Networking Thermal Management
The performance and longevity of network equipment in data centers, server rooms, and other IT environments depend on proper networking thermal management. Networking thermal management entails a number of strategies and components aimed at getting rid of heat and maintaining a suitable temperature for servers, switches, routers, and other network devices. These strategies and components work to ensure that network equipment does not overheat, which can lead to malfunctions and a markedly reduced performance and lifespan of the hardware.
Thermal management solutions rely on crucial elements such as cooling systems that include air conditioning units, fans, and heat exchangers. Air conditioning units are commonly used to control not only the temperature of a room but also the humidity, making sure the environment is appropriately stable. In contrast to a unit that cools a space, a rack-mounted fan helps heat to escape from the devices in the space. By using airflow to push heat out of the room, the fan also helps maintain a temperature that is consistent across all the devices.
