What is PDU and its importance in Data Center?

  The IT industry has been evolving, and they require modern solutions adapted to the latest technology and meet all the requirements of the modern world. For the substantial growth of any IT-related business, it is essential to have an efficiently working data center system . A PDU is used to supply power to different computer equipment and hardware. A basic PDU has one input and multiple outputs for providing energy. They are significant for a data center, and maintaining them is essential for a good-working data center. A stable power supply is needed for the data centers to work. The PDU has evolved a lot over time and introduced in many types for different industrial requirements. Other kinds of PDU are: Basic PDU: these are used to provide power to the data center and are one of the easiest ways of providing power to the UPS, generators, and multiple racks. Metered PDU: they are building with an in-built meter to monitor the load levels and limits, and they are used to preven...

What is Cold Aisle Containment system & Its Benefits

  An enormous amount of energy is required to run the data centres, and a significant amount of energy is utilised to maintain the server room's internal temperature. And over time, new methods of temperature regulation has been introduced, and cold aisle containment is one of those methods.   What is a cold aisle containment system? The Cold Aisle containment system segregates the cold and hot air and lets the hot air escape from the exhaust. The containment system prevents hot and cold air from mixing; it helps regulate the temperature with minimal energy and cost. Like a cold containment system, there is a hot one, too, wherein the hot air valve is closed so the cold air can carry the air circulation. Let us see several advantages of the cool aisle containment system :   Effective isolation: The cold aisle containment prevents the cold air from mixing with the hot air; it allows the cold air to circulate and create optimum temperature inside. The cooling equipment ne...

Understanding the KVM Console and its Types

  Data centers are evolving as the days are passing, and their requirements have also changed, whether it’s the data centre equipment or  KVM switches consoles . A KVM switch is a hardware device used to control multiple computers with a single switch. According to various requirements, the KVM switches have been modified, and different types have been introduced. However, there are two primary types of KVM switches which are: Single-user KVM switch: This type of KVM switch is often used for more minor uses. For example, this type of console is ideal for a small office and allows a single person to control as many computers as one likes from a single  KVM Console . Multi-user KVM switch: These types of switches are used for larger data centres and companies wherein multiple people are required to manage various computers at a time. If we further segregate these switches, they can be divided into two types:   Analogue KVM Switches: These KVM switches have direct conta...
