Rack-level DC power supply is the optimal technology for providing DC power to a volume server without any power infrastructure changes in an existing AC data center. In this paper, we propose a smartly controllable and monitorable DC rack power system. The proposed system improves power efficiency by changing the power distribution architecture of a conventional method in the rack. We developed an optimal power control method in multipower modules to provide high efficiency at low loads. In addition, the proposed system provides real-time web monitoring of the rack power and environment around a rack. In our experiments, the proposed system improved the power efficiency by over 10% compared to an AC power system providing N+1 redundant power and power monitoring.

Data center, not only the development of globally of cloud-based IT solutions, As the big data, education, use of development electronic equipment of communication means is increased, Demand of domestic and international data center has increased steadily. Due to the increase of data center demand, heat generation of server rack due to the development of IT equipment is also increasing continuously. Calculating heat value of the data center, because more than 99% of the power usage of IT server is converted into heat, the calorific value as the size and capacity of the server is larger will increase. In this paper, to center the cooling system of air-cooled, and research and development of air conditioning systems for energy reduction of data center, through performance analysis and simulation, it has been analyzed that there is energy savings.

Various server-based services such as big data, IoT and artificial intelligence have been made online. As a result, the demand for IDC to support stable server operation is increasing. IDC is a server-based facility with a stable line and power supply facility that manages 20 to 30 servers in an efficiently separated rack-level subnetwork. Here, we need a way to efficiently manage servers security, firewall, and traffic on a rack-by-rack basis. Including traffic shaping capabilities that control routers, firewalls, IPS, and line speeds, as well as VPN technology, a recent interest. If three or five kinds of commercial equipment are adopted to support this, it may be a great burden to the management cost as well as the introduction cost. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to implement the five functions in one rack-unit small integrated security router. In particular, IDC intends to integrate traffic shaping and IPS, which are essential technologies, and to propose the utility accordingly.

A datacenter is a high energy consuming facility whose cooling energy consumption rate is 10~20 times larger than general office buildings. The higher the temperature of supply air from a CRAC (computer room air-conditioner) is supplied, the more energy efficient cooling is possible because of improving the COP of a chiller and advanced range of outdoor air temperature available for the economizer cycles. However, because the temperature of cold air flowing into server computers varies depending on air mixing configurations in a computer room, the proper supply air temperature must be considered based on the investigation of air mixing and heat dissipation. By these, this study aims to understand the effects of variation of the supply air temperature on the air flow distributions, temperature distributions and rack cooling efficiencies. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) aided in conducting the investigation. As a result, the variation of the supply air temperature does not affect the air flow distributions. However, it mainly affects the temperature distribution. From the results of CFD simulations, Rack cooling indices (RCIHI and RCILO) were evaluated and showed the ideal state set at $19^{\circ}C$ of the supply air temperature.

In modern society, there are WEB sites that provides information in various fields by many advances in IT technology. As the number of users accessing the Web increases, one server becomes unavailable, and multiple servers are deployed to provide the service. In addition, systems that control servers are required to manage multiple servers. However, server control systems in the existing market are mostly those that notify managers through SMS and apps when a server's down or a controlled port is closed. However, in case of servers that generate a lot of traffic, the Web server and the WAS are operated and managed each independently. The WEB and WAS provide service by connecting to each other. However, the connection between WEB and WAS may be disconnected due to various environmental factors. In this case, the existing control system can not determine whether the service is working properly. Even in the case of WEB and WAS of a server that is operated independently, there is a phenomenon that the existing control system does not know the problem even when the normal service is not provided due to environmental factors such as disconnection to DB. In this paper, we implemented a system to check the normal state of Web service using Web crawling to solve this problem.

The cooling of data centers has emerged as a significant challenge as the density of IT equipment increased. With the rapid increasing of heat load and cooling system, predictions for electronics power trends have been closely watched. A data center power density projection is needed so that IT organizations can develop data centers with adequate cooling for reasonable lifetimes. This paper will discuss the need for something more than processor and equipment power trend projections which have overestimated the required infrastructure for customers. This projection will use data from a survey of actual enterprise data centers and the ASHRAE projections to formulate a data center server heat load trend projection.

Current processor power consumption has dramatically increased and already reached 115 Watts. Therefore, Heat sink design needs more high accuracy in 1U server. The target performance of heat sink is very dependent of fin geometry and it is also seriously affected by design conditions such as fan type, air duct shape and heatsink design parameters. The present paper investigates the behavior of heat sink performance under various conditions. The present work addresses pressurized type plane fin heat sinks having dimension of 40 mm by 40 mm by 56 mm fan.

This paper is concerned with data center remote management service for demanding forecasting and reduction of energy usage. More particularly, intelligent server rack, mounted on inside of the data center, collects information about energy usage and temperature per server. Using this information, management platform forecasts energy demand in the future and automatically makes report according green environment raw. By providing the remote management service through remote terminals, users are not tied to a time and place to control device inside the data center. In this way, the data center remote management service enhances operability of the facility.

IP and SIP public broadcasting systems developed in Korea and abroad are developed in a Windows or Linux server environments and are installed in a server-rack structure, have high power consumption, and are difficult to remotely respond to system failures. In this paper, IoT platform is designed to connect IoT device and gateway to IoT service server by using internet service structure. We also designed a server based on embedded OS that can provide a variety of public safety management services according to the order of the server with built-in call processing and broadcasting function that can handle emergency calls and emergency broadcasts in public places using this structure. This server is interoperable with a variety of SIP-based call and broadcast devices that support the standard SIP and can be integrated with an in-house phone and on-premises system.
