Data Center Power and Cooling Principles With Sizing Exercises Book

I've received increasing interest from individuals wanting to understand better the Data Center power and cooling architecture requirements for large computing, storage, and networking infrastructures. To help provide additional detail, I've put together a little 33-page book that covers Data Center power, cooling, and thermal aspects.

For the first Sizing Exercise (Chapter 6), we'll delve into the power and cooling requirements for a 554 Node/Server Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) environment spread across 40 cabinets within 9 VMware ESXi Clusters, hosting a total of 13,850 Virtual Machines. This configuration requires a maximum of 1,384 kW of power and 4,723,781.6 BTUs per hour of required cooling.

For the second Sizing Exercise (Chapter 7), we'll delve into the power and cooling requirements to build out a 32 Gbps Storage Area Network with 384 - 32 Gbps Fibre Channel Ports in Fabric A and 384 - 32 Gbps Fibre Channel Ports in Fabric B.
