In today’s environment volume servers are commonly designed for specific workload types. As a result, in the updated edition of the ASHRAE Datacom Equipment Power Trends and Cooling Applications publication, volume servers and their corresponding power trends are segregated into eight unique workload types. This is a significant change from the 2nd edition which delineated the power trends only by server size and the number of sockets. In addition, servers are no longer one size and one configuration fits all. These purpose-built servers include specific features and components sized to meet a customer’s workload requirements.
