A common cooling practice is to discharge the heat outdoors and use free cooling as much as possible.

It's important to understand how mechanical cooling works to set the right conditions, minimize energy use, determine appropriate redundancies and maintain reliable systems. Regardless of the systems admins use, it helps to understand cooling basics.
