A new white paper from Upsite Technologies shows facilities managers how to calculate, benchmark, interpret and benefit from a simple, practical data center metric established by the company, dubbed the Cooling Capacity Factor (CCF). The paper is currently featured on Cabling Installation & Maintenance.
