However, a high degree of centralization will enhance the thermal density inside the data center. The heat must be excluded in order to ensure the normal operation of data center. Flexible adjustment of heat dissipation according to heat change can achieve effective use of resource and energy-saving. However, it is difficult to adjust heat dissipation. Therefore, developing a intelligent cooling management system to subjectively and flexibly adjust heat dissipation according to the heat change is an effective method. Previous studies are only focused on partial or specific cooling device control. With the development of cooling technology, more cooling device should be considered. This study aims to construct a management system to effectively adjust the heat dissipation for a cloud computing data center which has a variety of cooling device. A real case from a cloud computing data center and a set of simulated case are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
