Over the years we\u2019ve tried to answer your data centers questions by writing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/download\/search\/?docTypeGroup=3541959-White+Paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white papers<\/a>, which has proven to be helpful based on their popularity. However, we realize that sometimes you don\u2019t have the time to read a 30-page, data-rich document; and videos are becoming a popular, alternate way to learn. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve started a mini video series, <em>Ten Minute Insights<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLa7UGrWOTyjnXoth_ix5h0nHxdX-a2v5F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video series<\/a> answers your commonly asked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/work\/solutions\/for-business\/data-centers-and-networks\/reference-designs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data center design<\/a> and operations questions in 10 minutes or less.

We know what issues data center pros are struggling with the most, and the topics and trends they\u2019re talking about. Just some of the questions we\u2019ve answered include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Episode 1: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0_0hmF4qrCk&amp;index=5&amp;list=PLa7UGrWOTyjnXoth_ix5h0nHxdX-a2v5F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why data center air containment by itself won&#8217;t save you energy?<\/a>\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Episode 2: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vibIQNNaADY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why is deltaT important to improving data center efficiency?<\/a>\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Episode 3: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OzAy38WasJo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Data Center Trends and Insights from Gartner IO Brasil<\/a>\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Episode 4: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6HaQ6Qfioxc&amp;t=2s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What\u2019s a data center?<\/a>\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the first few videos, we explore why data center air containment systems by themselves won\u2019t necessarily save you energy. Another looks at deltaT and how it can be used to improve data center cooling efficiency. My personal favorite is Episode 2 where I debunk the belief that you should set your home thermostat at fixed temperature to save energy. This is an example of how we try to simplify a complex topic by using familiar concepts.<\/p>\n<h2>Data Center Science Center: Other Resources We Provide<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/datacenter\/2017\/10\/02\/data-center-science-center-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The DCSC team<\/a> lives and breathes data center physical infrastructure, design, and operations. We\u2019re constantly researching new ways to wring more efficiency out of data center infrastructure, and best practices for reliable, efficient operations. We explore data center design concepts, searching for ways to make data centers easier and faster to build, without sacrificing resiliency and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>We love to get into the \u201cweeds\u201d as they say, digging deep into complex data center concepts to uncover new ways of doing things in order to make data centers more resilient, safe, and efficient.<\/p>\n<p>But when communicating with data center professionals at large, we always try to remove that complexity, and speak in simple terms. That\u2019s the approach we\u2019ve taken with the many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/download\/search\/?docTypeGroup=3541959-White+Paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white papers<\/a> we\u2019ve published over the years, covering a wide range of data center topics.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s also the thinking behind the many web-based <a href=\"https:\/\/tools.apc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tradeoff Tools<\/a> we\u2019ve developed over the years that enable data center professionals to experiment with \u201cwhat-if\u201d scenarios for a range of topics. We\u2019ve got calculators for data center efficiency and PUE, rack power architecture efficiency, capacity and growth planning, and lots more.<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, the videos.
