Good morning everyone,
Looking for a very reliable AC unit recommendation to cool a small server room. I've got a fairly small server room at a location that is currently cooled with a 7 year old, 2 ton Mitsubishi mini-split. That unit keeps shutting down on me whenever outside temps dip below 0 F. Cooling capacity is plenty. The HVAC guys only want to replace it since they've already installed a low ambient kit without success. I'm sick of coming in at 2 am and during snow storms...
Machines include:
6 dual quad core servers
3 dual six core servers
2 x 24 disk bays for the SAN
1 phone system
3 routers
8 24 port layer 3 switches
1 24 port POE injector
The HVAC guys have made some recommendations but I'm hoping to hear what some other IT folks are running before committing. Price is a big issue but if there's a "standard" for something like this I can probably get it approved.
Thanks
