Executive Overview Cloud service providers (CSPs) and enterprises are transforming their data centers to achieve better total cost of ownership (TCO) by taking advantage of the latest advances in compute, storage, and networking technology. Operators are also looking to reduce cost by enabling more automation and improving power usage efficiency (PUE). Since cooling equipment consumes 40% of the total data center power budget 1 , a growing trend is to save power by operating data centers at higher ambient temperatures. Employing this technique successfully requires precise monitoring of equipment to keep local temperatures within safe maximums. Intel has collaborated with Foxconn and SafeDX (a Foxconn CSP subsidiary in Europe) to develop and test an end-to-end solution to reduce d
