Abstract: A data center includes one or more racks, one or more electrical systems mounted in at least one of the racks, and one or more rack power distribution units (PDUs) in the racks, and one or more rack PDU power monitors. The rack PDUs distribute electrical power to the electrical systems. Each of the rack PDUs includes one or more PDU coupling devices and a monitoring device. The coupling device couples with PDU output receptacles of the rack PDUs. The monitoring device monitors electrical power output from the PDU output receptacles.

Abstract: A data center includes one or more racks, one or more computing devices coupled to at least one of the racks, and one or more air moving devices. The computing devices include heat producing components. The computing devices may be inclined in the rack such that the lower ends of the computing devices are at a lower elevation than the higher ends of the computing devices. The air moving devices can move air from the lower end of the inclined computing devices to the higher end of the inclined computing devices such that heat is removed from heat producing components in the inclined computing devices.

Abstract: A computing system includes a rack system that allows air to flow into the rack system on a first side of the rack system and to discharge from the rack system on a second side of the rack system. One or more air directing devices are coupled to the rack system on the first side of the rack system or the second side of the rack system. At least one of the air directing devices includes a duct having an upwardly increasing interior cross section over at least a portion of the height of the duct. The duct segregates air passing through the duct from air outside the duct. The air directing device may include a louver that couples to the rack system. The louver may include one or more airflow control members that allow air to pass through the louver.

Abstract: A modular computing system for a data center includes one or more data center modules including rack-mounted computer systems. An electrical module is coupled to the data center modules and provides electrical power to computer systems in the data center modules. One or more air handling modules are coupled to the data center modules. The data center module may include two pre-fabricated portions, each portion including a row of racks of computer systems. The two computing module portions of the data center module may combine to form a computing space when coupled to one another.

Abstract: A system for removing heat from components in a computer room of data center includes one or more air storage containers that hold compressed air, one or more compressors that supply compressed air to the air storage containers, and one or more plenums in fluid communication with at least one of the storage containers. At least one of the plenums can supply air to a computer room.
