We have some APC in-row coolers in our DR site. They've been in place for
about 3 years, and no major maintenance issues that are outside of the
norm. I believe we feed them off of our building chilled water loop,
with a backup domestic water feed for times when the chilled water plant
has to be taken offline for maintenance.
I don't directly run our DR site, but I've never heard of any serious
performance issues.
I don't know the exact model of the coolers we're using, but I can find
out.
