A company is designing the layout of a new data center so it will have an optimal environmental temperature. Which of the following must be included? (Choose two.)
To maintain an optimal environmental temperature in a data center, it is critical to include both a cold aisle and a hot aisle in the design. A cold aisle is positioned in front of equipment racks, ensuring that cold air is drawn directly into the front of the equipment for efficient cooling. A hot aisle, located behind the equipment racks, manages the hot air exhaust by directing it into specific aisles where it can be extracted and cooled down. This combination ensures efficient cooling of the equipment and effective management of hot air, maintaining the optimal temperature environment in the data center.
wtf how
B. A cold aisle and D. A hot aisle
cold/hot = temperature :D
B. A cold aisle: Cold aisles are typically positioned in front of equipment racks, with the racks facing into the aisle. This design ensures that cold air from the air conditioning units is drawn directly into the front of the equipment, ensuring efficient cooling. D. A hot aisle: Hot aisles are positioned behind equipment racks. Equipment is oriented so that exhaust fans blow hot air from the equipment directly into these aisles. The hot air in these aisles is then typically extracted and cooled down, often being recycled back to the cold aisles. Using a combination of cold aisles and hot aisles ensures that equipment is efficiently cooled, and hot air is effectively managed, maintaining an optimal temperature environment for the data center. The other options, while they might be relevant in some data center designs, are not as critical as the cold and hot aisle configurations for ensuring optimal environmental temperature.
For a data center, if possible, you most definitely want to have a hot and cold isle which just circulates air keeping the backsides/the overall servers at an efficient, cool, and maintained temperature. You do want the other things as well, (not an air gap, that is just word play mess with people.) but it asked "what must be included," but B, and D are a must.
Keyword here is layout. Other choices are important for environmental control, but the only choice relevant when "designing" the actual physical space, is Hot and Cold Aisles
I cant ratiolize putting in a hot aisle over a humidity monitor
