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.
