A first power train that includes a first plurality of components, and a second power train includes a second plurality of components. The first power train is configured to provide power to a first plurality of server racks of a first data center at a first level of high-availability service associated with a first uptime. The first plurality of components includes a first subset of the first plurality of components and a second subset of the first plurality of components. The second power train is configured to provide power to a second plurality of server racks of the first data center at a second level of high-availability service that is associated with a second uptime that is less than the first uptime. The second plurality of components includes a first subset of the second plurality of components and the second subset of the first plurality of components.

Variable redundancy data center power topology

A modular server cooling unit user standard dimension modules to build a variety of components for use in cooling a server or server farm. One module may be the module in which the server(s) are mounted. Another module may be an exhaust plenum, drawing air through the server module and exhausting the air to the outside. A third module may be a cooling module through which outside air is drawn, filtered and optionally cooled, for example, using an adiabatic, or water-wash, cooler. Exhaust air may be selectively mixed with air from the cooling module to provide finer control of server temperature and humidity.
