RE: [LUG] Datacentre bits

["Alasdair Cunningham-Smith" <alasdair@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The *huge* Exodus data centre I was in outside Washington was
(subjectively) quite cold - maybe 12-14 Celsius, and fairly low RH -
guess sub 50%. Certainly needed more than a t-shirt to work in there.

HTH.

Subject: [LUG] Datacentre bits

Not strictly Linux related, but I thought I'd ask some like-minded
people :)

What should the target temperature of a server room / datacentre be?
I've 
been tasked with improving the climate control of the server room here,
and I 
have no idea really what I should be speccing.

Doing some Googling, I've managed to find some datacentres have optimal 
temperatures of between 20 and 22 degrees C, but that strikes me as
being 
quite warm - is this normal?...

And then there's the question of humidity...
