Data centers: What does it take to heat things up?

But when well-known companies -- including Facebook, Google, Yahoo!, Korea Telecom and others -- publicize their high temperature ambient (HTA) successes at 80°F and above, we all pay attention.

Before arbitrarily cutting back on cooling and letting the ambient temperature rise, however, as a data center manager, you’ll want to review your equipment warranties, SLAs and compliance requirements.
