Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The digital world ultimately runs on physical machines.Behind every cloud application, artificial intelligence model, online transaction, streaming service, database, and enterprise system are servers performing billions and increasingly trillions of computations while moving enormous quantities of data through memory, storage, and networks.The Complete Guide to a Data Center Server and Compute provides a comprehensive exploration of the hardware and computing infrastructure at the heart of the modern data center.Beginning with the anatomy of an individual server and expanding outward to racks, clusters, virtualization platforms, cloud environments, high-performance computing systems, and massive AI infrastructure, this book explains what data center compute systems are, how their components work, how they are deployed, and how thousands of machines are transformed into enormous computing platforms.Inside the Modern Data Center ServerA server may look like a relatively simple metal enclosure from the outside. Inside is a carefully engineered collection of components designed to provide performance, reliability, serviceability, and continuous operation.Readers explore the roles of: - CPUs and processor architecture- CPU sockets, cores, and threads- Motherboards and chipsets- System memory and DIMMs- Memory channels and bandwidth- ECC memory- GPUs and accelerators- Storage devices- NVMe and SSD technology- PCIe and expansion systems- Network interface cards- Power supplies- Fans and thermal management- Baseboard management controllers- Firmware- Redundant hardware- Server chassis and form factorsThe goal is not simply to identify components, but to understand how they interact to create a functioning compute system.CPUs, Processing, and Compute ArchitectureAt the center of traditional server computing is the CPU.The book explains fundamental concepts surrounding processor cores, threads, clock speeds, caches, instruction execution, memory access, parallelism, NUMA, processor sockets, and workload performance.Readers learn why adding more processors does not automatically make every application faster and why the relationship between compute, memory, storage, and networking determines overall system performance.These concepts establish the foundation for understanding everything from a single enterprise server to enormous distributed computing environments.Memory: Feeding the ProcessorsModern processors can perform calculations extraordinarily quickly-but only when they can obtain the information they need.Readers explore RAM, DIMMs, ECC, memory channels, memory capacity, bandwidth, latency, NUMA architecture, caching, and the relationship between processors and memory.The book explains why memory can become a critical performance constraint and why increasingly demanding workloads require engineers to consider not simply how much memory a server contains, but how quickly information can move between memory and processors.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Every watt of computing power eventually becomes heat-and removing that heat has become one of the defining engineering challenges of the modern data center.As artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, cloud infrastructure, and increasingly powerful processors drive rack densities to unprecedented levels, traditional approaches to data center cooling are being pushed to their limits. Understanding thermal management is no longer a specialized concern. It is fundamental to the design, reliability, efficiency, and future of digital infrastructure.The Complete Guide to Data Center Cooling provides a comprehensive exploration of the technologies, engineering principles, equipment, and operational practices used to control heat inside modern data centers.Beginning with the fundamentals of heat generation, heat transfer, airflow, temperature, humidity, and psychrometrics, the book explains why servers produce heat, how that heat moves through a facility, and how cooling systems ultimately transport thermal energy from electronic components to the outside environment.Readers are introduced to the traditional air-cooling systems that have supported data centers for decades, including CRAC and CRAH units, computer-room airflow, raised floors, supply and return air, hot-aisle and cold-aisle configurations, containment systems, economizers, chillers, cooling towers, pumps, heat exchangers, and building mechanical infrastructure.From there, the book moves into the rapidly evolving world of high-density and AI data center cooling.Modern GPU servers and AI computing clusters can concentrate extraordinary amounts of power-and therefore heat-into individual racks. The book examines why this development is accelerating the adoption of direct-to-chip liquid cooling, cold plates, coolant distribution units, facility water systems, rear-door heat exchangers, immersion cooling, hybrid air-and-liquid architectures, and other advanced thermal-management technologies.Explore the Complete Cooling ChainCooling a data center involves far more than simply blowing cold air across servers.The Complete Guide to Data Center Cooling follows heat through the entire thermal pathway-from the silicon generating it to the systems ultimately rejecting it into the environment.Readers will explore: How servers, CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage, and power electronics generate heatFundamentals of conduction, convection, thermal resistance, and heat transferAirflow management and the movement of heat through server racksHot aisles, cold aisles, containment, bypass air, and recirculationCRAC and CRAH systems and their roles within the data centerChilled-water systems and central cooling plantsChillers, pumps, cooling towers, condensers, evaporators, and heat exchangersDX cooling and refrigerant-based systemsFree cooling, economization, and environmental operating strategiesTemperature and humidity managementSensors, controls, monitoring, and building management systemsCooling redundancy, reliability, and fault tolerancePreventive maintenance and cooling-system operationsUnderstand Liquid CoolingAs computing density increases, moving heat through air becomes progressively more difficult.This guide examines the engineering transition from traditional air cooling toward liquid-assisted and liquid-cooled data centers, explaining both the technology and the infrastructure required to support it.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Every server, storage system, network switch, cooling plant, and artificial intelligence accelerator inside a data center depends on one thing before anything else: reliable electrical power.Behind the digital world is an enormous physical power infrastructure engineered to deliver electricity continuously, safely, efficiently, and at extraordinary scale.The Complete Guide to Data Center Power provides a comprehensive exploration of the electrical systems that make modern data centers possible-from the utility grid and facility substation to transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, batteries, generators, power distribution equipment, server racks, and ultimately the processors performing the computation.Written for readers who want to understand both the individual components and the larger system they create, this book explains how power enters a data center, how it is transformed and distributed, how it is protected against interruption, and how engineers design electrical infrastructure capable of supporting mission-critical computing around the clock.Follow the Power from the Grid to the ServerData center electrical infrastructure can appear overwhelmingly complex until the entire power chain is understood.This guide follows electricity through the facility step by step, exploring the role of: Utility power and electrical gridsSubstations and utility interconnectionsMedium-voltage distributionTransformersSwitchgear and switchboardsCircuit breakers and protective devicesAutomatic and static transfer systemsUninterruptible power suppliesBattery energy storageStandby generatorsParalleling systemsBusways and electrical feedersPower distribution unitsRemote power panelsRack PDUsServer power suppliesGrounding and bondingMonitoring, metering, and controlsRather than treating these systems as unrelated pieces of equipment, the book explains how they work together as a complete electrical architecture.Understanding UPS Systems and Stored EnergyFor mission-critical facilities, even a momentary interruption can have serious consequences.Readers explore how Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems bridge the gap between the loss of normal utility power and the availability of an alternate power source.The book examines UPS architecture, battery systems, bypass arrangements, redundancy, capacity, runtime, maintenance, failure modes, and the role stored energy plays in maintaining continuous operation.It also introduces the changing landscape of energy storage as data centers evaluate traditional battery technologies alongside newer approaches to resilience and energy management.Generators and Emergency PowerWhen the electrical grid disappears, the data center cannot simply wait for it to return.The Complete Guide to Data Center Power examines the standby generation systems designed to keep critical facilities operating during utility outages.Readers learn about generator architecture, fuel systems, starting systems, transfer sequences, paralleling, synchronization, load acceptance, testing, maintenance, redundancy, and emergency operating procedures.The book also explains how UPS systems, generators, transfer equipment, switchgear, and controls must work together during one of the most important events in data center operations: the transition from normal power to emergency power and back again.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Computing creates value only when data can be stored, protected, moved, and delivered when it is needed.Behind every cloud application, database, streaming platform, financial transaction, scientific workload, and artificial intelligence model is an enormous storage infrastructure responsible for preserving and supplying the world's digital information.The Complete Guide to Data Center Storage provides a comprehensive exploration of the hardware, architectures, technologies, and operational principles behind modern data storage-from individual hard drives and solid-state devices to enterprise storage arrays, storage networks, distributed systems, hyperscale platforms, and the high-performance infrastructure feeding today's massive AI clusters.Rather than treating storage as simply a collection of disks, this book explains storage as an interconnected system involving media, controllers, servers, networks, software, redundancy, performance, data protection, and physical data center infrastructure.Begin with the Fundamentals of Data StorageWhat actually happens when a computer saves information?The book begins with the foundations needed to understand how digital information moves from an application into persistent storage and eventually returns when requested.Readers explore: Bits, bytes, blocks, and filesStorage capacityInput/output operationsSequential and random accessReads and writesLatencyThroughputIOPSQueue depthCachingControllersInterfaces and protocolsLocal versus networked storagePersistent versus volatile memoryThese concepts establish the vocabulary needed to understand everything from a single SSD to enormous distributed storage systems.HDDs, SSDs, and Modern Storage MediaStorage technology has undergone an extraordinary transformation.Readers examine the architecture and operating principles of hard disk drives, solid-state drives, NAND flash, enterprise SSDs, and modern high-performance storage devices.The book explains why different media have different characteristics involving capacity, speed, latency, endurance, reliability, power consumption, and cost.Rather than asking which storage technology is simply "best," readers learn why data center architects select different technologies for different workloads.Understanding NVMeNVMe has become increasingly important to high-performance data center storage.The book explores NVMe devices, PCIe connectivity, queues, parallelism, latency, throughput, and the architectural advantages of storage designed specifically for modern solid-state media.Readers learn how NVMe differs from older storage interfaces and why reducing the delays between processors and data becomes increasingly important as computing systems become faster.The discussion expands into concepts surrounding NVMe over Fabrics and networked high-performance storage, connecting local storage technology with larger data center architectures.RAID, Redundancy, and Data ProtectionStorage devices eventually fail.Reliable storage systems therefore require methods for protecting information when hardware stops working.Readers explore RAID concepts, mirroring, striping, parity, redundancy, hot spares, rebuilds, fault domains, replication, erasure coding, and high availability.The book explains an important distinction: This item is printed on demand.
