ITU-T L.1322 (12/2025)

Métricas multinivel para el entorno y el rendimiento térmicos de los centros de datos

En la Recomendación UIT-T L.1322 se especifica un marco de evaluación cuantitativa para el entorno térmico de los centros de datos caracterizados por una alta densidad de flujo térmico, requisitos medioambientales estrictos y sistemas de refrigeración de funcionamiento continuo. El marco define indicadores para múltiples niveles: sala, fila, armario, dispositivo y chip, que comprenden la organización del flujo de aire y la eficacia del enfriamiento. El marco soporta la identificación de puntos calientes, la optimización del flujo de aire, la comunicación de niveles de seguridad y la cuantificación del uso energético y los posibles ahorros para poder efectuar comparaciones entre centros de datos de distinto tamaño, disposición y planificación del flujo de aire.
