| Abstract | OF THE DISSERTATION Cooling Provisioning and Reliability Implications for Cost-efficient Datacenters by Ioannis Manousakis Dissertation Director: Thu D. Nguyen Today and for the foreseeable future, demand for datacenter capacity is constantly increasing worldwide, primarily driven by cloud computing. Large cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google are currently deploying multi-gigawatt facilities annually. This staggering growth is costly. Just for datacenter infrastructure, excluding IT equipment, energy and maintenance costs, these companies spend approximately ten dollars to house each useful Watt of IT equipment. Due to the huge monetary incentives, cloud providers have made significant strides in reducing both capital (provisioning) and operations costs of their datacenters primarily via the adaptation of cost-efficient cooling technologies. However, significant opportunities still exist. Thus, this dissertation is dedicated to cost-efficient methods for provisioning the datacenter cooling infrastructure and the implications to server reliability. In the first part of this dissertation, we propose a method to reduce cooling costs by underprovisioning the cooling infrastructure of datacenters. Cooling costs still represent a significant capital and operational expense, mainly because cloud providers typically provision their cooling infrastructure for the worst-case scenario (i.e., very high load and outside temperature at the same time). Since extreme conditions occur very rarely, it is cost efficient to provision for less capacity (under-provision) and manage the rare |
