"複数の既存サーバやストレージを対象に
 デル、最高45℃での使用も保証で外気冷却を支援"
 2011/08/24、@IT
  http://www.atmarkit.co.jp/news/201108/24/dell.html

  " デルは8月24日、事業者や企業のデータセンターにおける外気冷却への
   取り組みを支援するため、同社の法人向けIT機器の保証でカバーする
   温度範囲を拡大したと日本で発表した。1機種に限定したものでなく、
   同社の複数の既存サーバ、ストレージ、スイッチなどに適用される。

    具体的には、年間の合計稼働時間のうち、10%までを室温5~40℃、
   湿度5~85%、1%までを室温-5~45℃、湿度5~90%、そして残りの時間を
   10~35℃、湿度10~80%の範囲で動かす場合、これがデルの製品保証範囲に
   含まれるというもの。常時45℃の稼働を保証するというものではない。
   目的が外気冷却の活用支援だからだ。"

複数の既存IT機器を対象製品として認定した:

※積算温度モニタシステムみたいなものが必要になりそう。


Dell (US) のプレスリリース:

"Dell Leads Shift to "Chiller-Less" Data Centers with Fresh Air Technology"
 7/28/2011
  http://content.dell.com/us/en/corp/d/press-releases/2011-07-28-fresh-air-initiative.aspx
.....
  "Trends in data center design place an increased emphasis on
   the efficiency and cost benefits that can be achieved with higher
   operational temperatures. In addition to ASHRAE's updated standard,
   The Institute for Energy, a European guidance body, has issued
   the "European Union Code of Conduct for Data Centres," which
   challenges IT manufacturers to increase their allowable environmental
   limits and sets a goal of enabling chiller-less facility designs."

※ASHRAEに関しては以前伝えた通りで、最後に一部引用します。
.....
  "... In line with the new, more stringent ASHRAE A3 and A4 classifications,
   Dell systems have been developed for sustained operation at temperature
   ranges from minus 23 F (5 C) to 113 F (45 C) and allowable humidity
   from 5 percent to 90 percent. This level of design robustness has been
   validated by recent tests indicating that the products can tolerate
   up to 900 hours of 104 F (40 C) operation per year and up to 90 hours
   at 113 F (45 C)"
