I recall some evidence that 80+F temps can reduce hard drive lifetime, though it might be outdated as it was from before SSDs were around. I would imagine that while it may not impact the ability for a server to handle load, it may reduce equipment lifetime. It also could be an indication that they lack redundancy in the case of an AC failure. This could cause equipment damage if the datacenter is unattended and temperatures are allowed to rise.

Are you sure your equipment is properly oriented for airflow (hot/coldaisles if in use) and has no restrictions?On Oct 11, 2017, at 9:42 AM, Sam Kretchmer <sam () coeosolutions com<mailto:sam () coeosolutions com>> wrote:with a former employer we had a suite at the L3 facility on Canal in Chicago. They had this exact issue for the entire time we had the suite. They kept blaming a failing HVAC unit on our floor, but it went on for years no matter who we complained to, or what we said. Good luck.

I¹m having that experience currently, where ambient temp is in the 80¹s, but they tell me that¹s perfectly fine because vented tiles have been placed in front of all equipment racks. My equipment is alarming for high temps, so obviously not fine. Trying to find my way up to whomever I can complain to that¹s in a position to do something about it but it seems the support staff have been told to brush questions about temp off as much as possible. Was wondering if this is a country-wide thing for them or unique to the data center I have equipment in. I have equipment in several others from different companies and most are probably 15-20 degrees cooler. Thanks, David --- Keith Stokes
