As France continues to face a heat wave, a Paris-area Equinix data centre has suffered a cooling outage, leaving some customer services offline for hours. Equinix used backup cooling units to cool the facility and regain control of the second floor of its Paris 2 IBX data centre in St. Denis, France.
“Multiple chillers that support the second floor failed, and the standby chiller system did not start in time to absorb the load,” Equinix France general manager Michel Brignano explained in a report posted to the FrNOG Internet community forum. “This impacted temperatures on the second floor and had indirect effect on the ground floor as well.”

Power usage is one of the biggest concerns for a data centre, particularly because it involves so many other aspects of operations, such as heating and cooling, network efficiency, and monitoring. Here are 10 ways to reduce power use without negatively affecting the data centre.
Do an onsite audit & modelling: An audit can help identify areas of inefficiency, says Greg Stover, senior vice president of sales at NER.The audit should take into account items such as room layout, rack-by-rack IT equipment densities, CRAC type and location, total equipment power consumption, point temperatures throughout the room, cutouts, and leakage. Stover says, “Next, a modelling process with many iterations and scenarios can help you develop a complete thermal solution for the data centre that prevents excess power use.”

A major central London data centre owned by Level 3 overheated in Sunday’s sunshine, taking down major websites including the popular music service Last.fm. Temperatures at the facility in Braham Street in the City topped 50°C at 7pm, after one of five chillers failed in the afternoon heat. According to data recorded at City Airport, the outside temperature peaked yesterday at about 23°C.
The other chillers were uable to bear the extra strain and the temperature rose uncontrollably. Servers shut down to cool and were gradually brought back online after about four hours. Level 3 said today that engineers were still working to repair the faulty chiller, but added that the other four were now able to maintain a working temperature. It said it had informed customers of the problems.
