For
The Data Centre Environment

|
With
today's servers generating more heat output, keeping the data
centre cool and operating efficiently is a major consideration.
These heat generating servers are often packed into smaller
footprints that require more cooling capacity. Additional
cooling capacity typically comes from adding more cooling
units, which is expensive. A better solution is to reclaim
lost cooling capacity before adding more. This can be achieved
by sealing unmanaged openings that are wasting cold air and
ensuring cold air is directed to where it is needed most -

Poorly cooled
data centres often suffer from hotspots that can lead to equipment
failure. Also cooling equipment may not be working as efficiently
as it could. KoldLok offer a range of specially designed raised-floor
grommets designed to seal cutouts within the raised-floor and stop
cold air from escaping, whilst still allowing cables to pass through.
The KoldLok raised-floor grommets are static disappative and prevent
static discharges being carried up the cables. By sealing cutouts
within the raised-floor, cooling the data centre environment is drastically
improved.
Other measures can be taken to make sure that the data centre is being
cooled effectively. KoldLok offers the KoldCheck service. In this
service an expert will analyse your data centre's cooling and produce
a report of recommendations on how to improve the cooling of the data
centre. The KoldTune service will then implement the required changes.
