Data center solutions and airflow management.

With the skyrocketing of data center setups the manufacturing sector are on their toes managing solutions for these data centers.  Some factors which requires consistent monitoring in data center solution and airflow management are, air conditioning, air filters, air quality, cooling cost savings, HVAC systems, duct work efficiency, and preventive maintenance.

Not a daunting task albeit requiring consistent monitoring. What then happens if is too hot? Well, that’s obvious, temperature rise results in overheated equipment, which in turn results in the loss of the valuable data stored in the equipment. The heat generated albeit from the equipment itself, needs to be dissipated with an effective cooling system.  The data center solution and airflow management team need to ensure the use of temperature monitoring equipment and alarms. Prevention of hot and cold air mixing is achieved with blanketing panels, plinth and rack side thermal sealing, and perforated doors.  Most modern IT equipment are designed to “inhale” from the front and “exhale” from the rear, the logic then will be that when there are several rows of servers, it creates a energy efficiency issue, because the hot air from the rear of one row is getting sucked up by the cooling front of the row behind and likewise with every successive rows. To prevent overheating place the front of one row of servers faces the front of another row, and the back of a row of servers facing the back of another row of servers.   This configuration is a technique that helps in power costs,

Data center solutions and airflow management recommended temperature in a server room or data center to keep equipment in optimal working condition is a narrow range of, 20 to 21.666 degrees Celsius, a temperature hovering close to 27.777 degree Celsius will endanger the safety of the data.
