Deployment of High-Density Data Center Cabinets

This case study details the collaboration between TierPoint and DDC Cabinet Technology in deploying high-density S-Series data center cabinets designed specifically for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The document outlines the challenges faced by TierPoint in accommodating significant GPU deployments that generate substantial heat and energy. Traditional data center designs proved inadequate for these demands, necessitating a new approach. The solution involved the implementation of DDC's scalable S-Series cabinets, which offer dynamic density control and efficient cooling solutions. The results of a side-by-side cost and performance comparison demonstrated that DDC cabinets were the most cost-effective option, with lower construction costs and reduced ongoing operational expenses. The case study emphasizes the benefits of DDC's technology, including superior temperature control, energy efficiency, and the ability to dynamically manage airflow and cooling, ultimately leading to a future-proof data center solution for TierPoint.
