Thermal Management

It's no joke to say that thermal management is a hot issue for data centers. Moore's law has held true, and manufacturers are producing servers that are more and more dense, while the explosion in data is creating requirements for more and more servers. Those servers all end up contending for limited space and air flow within the data center.

They also create huge power requirements. According to data center construction specialist Bruce Bleser, "As a rule of thumb, you need to double the total power used by the computers to approximate the power required for the HVAC systems and the balance of the facility,"

The telling statistic that servers at the top of a cabinet are three times as likely to fail as those at the bottom is indicative of another problem: Facilities rarely have the proper air distribution to supply a good source of cold air to the server intakes.

In short, thermal management is a complex problem, and that's where we come in.

Our team of experts can analyze and directly address your unique thermal management needs with a combination of components that work together to enhance conventional HVAC, eliminate needless obstacles to consolidation (like cabling problems) and enable continuous monitoring to let you anticipate and correct problem conditions before they arise.
