|
Greater reliability |
| |
Wholly reliant on dedicated room air con
Servers overheat and shut down if it fails
Small body of room air = short overheat time
Restoration by specialist engineer call-out |
|
|
|
| |
Uses room air in open office, with aircon or not
Large body of room air = long overheat time
Simple, hot-swappable fan modules:
| - |
much less complex than aircon |
| - |
average life of service of fans is >8 years |
| - |
Hold a spare fan module = instant up-time |
