DATA CENTER AND LAYOUT METHOD IN DATA CENTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for reducing the energy for transporting from an air conditioner a cool air required for generating an air flow.SOLUTION: A data center includes: a rack 110 storing an electronic apparatus; a rack array 120 constituted of plural racks 110 aligned in a line; and a passage formed by a rack array 120 and another rack array 120 facing the rack array 120. The rack arrays 120 are disposed so that the distance between the rack array 120 and the other rack array 120 gets smaller as the air flows in the passage in a proceeding direction. With this, the energy required for carrying the cool air from an air conditioner 100 is reduced.
