IHS: Liquid Cooling Market to See Strong Growth

July 10th, 2014

Research firm IHS, in its Data Center Cooling Report—2014, is predicting the market for liquid cooling infrastructure in data centers to grow by 40% this year.

Although OOBM eases a variety of remote-management processes, it has become an essential part of preventing network blackouts and providing efficient troubleshooting. In particular, the advent[...]
