HP Dynamic Smart Cooling

The new HP Dynamic Smart Cooling (DSC) technology helps you tackle one of the most critical issues in today's data centers - power and cooling. DSC will enable you to change data center energy costs from a fixed to a variable cost, significantly increase your IT scaling headroom, and ensure complete confidence that you're running a much more efficient data center - helping you drive towards a more adaptive infrastructure.

Why Dynamic Smart Cooling?

• Increase cooling capacity up to 80% of rated CRAH/CRAC utilization from typical 30–50% utilization.
• Energy savings: Reduces cooling costs by up to 45% (depending on cooling plant)
• Resiliency: Ensures automatic re-tuning if changes or disturbances threaten air-conditioning reliability
• Increased efficiency: Supports higher rack operating temperature due to quick response times; enables higher chilled water temperature for energy savings
• Computer room air conditioners (CRAC) consolidation: Enables fewer CRACs for same level of reliability with usage flexibility for increased savings
• Flexibility: Choose to apply increased savings to IT scalability or other critical data center needs

HP Dynamic Smart Cooling bridges the legacy gap between IT and facilities managers for significant cost savings to create a more adaptive infrastructure. Typically, IT equipment has simply existed within the data center, with power and cooling capacity increasingly limiting the ability to efficiently deploy new technologies. For the first time, Dynamic Smart Cooling - the latest HP innovation produced from over a decade of research efforts - enables the equipment to interact with the facilities that support the data center, driving maximum efficiency.

Protected by HP Services and a three-year, on-site limited global warranty. Certain restrictions and exclusions apply.

As the brains of the operation, the DSC Energy Manager Control Node is a HP ProLiant DL380 G5 running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and HP DSC Energy Management software. The DSC Energy Manager Control Node communicates with the facility's Computer Room Air Conditioners to provide only the amount of cooling required at a point in time, and no more.

HP DSC Base Stations are assigned to individual racks and collect temperature data from DSC Intake and Exhaust Sensors associated with that rack. The DSC Base Station then reports that information every 15 seconds to the DSC Energy Manager Control Node.

HP DSC Intake & Exhaust Sensors are arrays of thermal sensors. DSC Intake Sensors are installed in front of a rack, while the optional DSC Exhaust Sensors are installed at the rear of the rack. The intake sensors allow DSC to determine if the air going into a rack is cool enough for the rack's load. The optional exhaust sensors extend DSC capabilities by allowing DSC to detect no flow, reverse flow or low load conditions.

The required deployment service for HP Dynamic Smart Cooling is ordered via part number HF801A1 and requires a price to be entered since this is a custom bid service. The price is available in the final quote that was provided to the customer and must be entered at the time the order was placed.

The HP DSC Thermal Assessment is ordered, and invoiced, separately under part number HA536A1. This provides an analysis comparing industry/HP best practices to the customer's current data center environment and readiness for Dynamic Smart Cooling. In addition, HP will perform 3D modeling of the entire data center supply and return air flows and will provide a written report that includes observations, thermal model results, DSC readiness results, and recommendations for improvement.

This product is covered by a global limited warranty and supported by HP Services and a worldwide network of service providers. Hardware diagnostic support and repair is available for three years from date of purchase. Additional support may be covered under the warranty or available for an additional fee. Enhancements to warranty services are available through HP Care Pack services or customized service agreements.

NOTE: DSC Limited Warranty includes 3 year Parts, 3 year Labor, 3-year on-site support. This warranty supports the DSC Energy Manager Control Node, DSC Base Station and DSC Intake & Exhaust Sensors. HP DSC Energy Management Control Software includes 1 year next business day support.
