[perils of 24/7 airconditioning]
Hmm. Those folks might be better served by studying data center environments in the South or Southwest - ie Phoenix, Dallas, etc. Those folks generally don't seem to be unduly alarmed by operational impact since they've planned for it one way or another from day one, AFAIK.
Or those a little further south. It never gets _that_ hot here (certainly nothing to what they need to engineer around in Australia) but we have core transmission rooms that have been air conditioned 24/7 for the past seven years. If you have redundant air conditioning plant, this isn't such a drama. Joe (in rainy New Zealand)
