Data Center Redundancy and Tier Classification Levels
Running and maintaining a data center requires at least some degree of redundancy. This allows for reliable operation and increased the uptime during planned or unplanned downtime.
What You Should Know About Data Center Cooling Technologies When Selecting a Co-Location Provider
Data Centers are huge power consumers. Apart from the IT load, the cooling system is one of the biggest energy hogs in a data center. Worldwide, the combined data center power consumption accounts for around 3% of the worlds total energy usage. So as you can see it is quite significant, not only to he environment, but to operational costs.
Cleaning and Sanitizing Data Centers
Cleaning and Sanitizing Data Centers
Modern data centers are usually clean areas with their own air filtration units, controlled access, static mats at many entries, and air pressurization in white spaces with HVAC controlled temperature and humidity. But in areas where the maintenance personnel have to work, it’s important to frequently disinfect the frequently touched surfaces to eliminate possible virus contamination.
Differential Air Pressure in the data center
Lower energy costs in the data center have resulted in various strategies being employed. Many have implemented the separation of hot and cold air. This is known as aisle containment. The installation of blanking panels in empty U’s of IT cabinets and brushes for cabling to enter through has become common. In addition, the control of CRAC unit fan speeds can further reduce energy costs.
Warehouse Flood Prevention
Warehouses are by nature gargantuan structures. Designed to hold large amounts of product and inventory, the value of which can be huge. Unfortunately, in many cases, they are not properly maintained or inspected. This means that leaks can spring or roofs can fail. There are a number of problems that can arise which allow water to gain access to your warehouse.
Generator Maintenance Monitoring
There are two categories of generator power installations. Emergency Power Supply Systems (EPPS) are an independent power supply system for life-critical infrastructure. For example, hospitals are legally required to have EPPS. The maintenance of such systems is tightly controlled and regulated.

Modern-day universities and colleges rely on stable IT infrastructure to host their ever-growing digital presence. The IT infrastructure of a college must handle thousands of students data. With the advent of distance learning, online virtual classes and whiteboards have become commonplace. Implementing a data center disaster recovery plan is essential. Below is a list of what the typical college campus IT infrastructure must handle.

Hospital Backup Power Plan – Understanding NFPA 110 Chapter 7
NFPA 110 provides guidelines for the performance of emergency and standby power systems. It is a requirement for hospitals to provide Emergency Power Supply Systems (EPSS). These supply independent power for critical life support systems and infrastructure. Its intent is to ensure maximum reliability of the EPSS.
