What’s a CRAC? It’s shorthand for Computer Room Air Conditioner, a key component in data center cooling. In this video, SoftLayer “Social Media Ninja” Kevin Hazard gives a basic explanation of how data center CRAC units work, along with a walk-around demonstration of airflow within a hot aisle/cold aisle raised-floor environment. Due to the ambient noise in the data center, Kevin’s explanation had to be “yelled.” This video runs about 2 minutes.
