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.
Disaster Recovery Planning for College IT Data Centers

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.
Temperature Excursion Management in Pharmaceutical Storage
Temperature Excursion Management in Pharmaceutical Storage
The quality of pharmaceuticals relies on environmental controls during their storage and handling. Every pharmaceutical item ought to be taken care of and stored under manufacturer-recommended storage conditions marked on the data information sheet or packaging. Temperature Exc
How to reduce warehouse energy costs
How to Reduce Warehouse Energy Costs
Energy represents one of the largest costs of operating warehouses. An effective energy management plan offers one of the greatest opportunities for improving profitability.
WHO Guidance On Temperature Sensitive Pharmaceutical Products
The World Health Organization (WHO) publishes guidelines for the storage and transport of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products. Many pharmaceuticals, drugs, and vaccines have time and/or temperature-dependent requirements.
Protect Your Data Center During Power Outages and Heatwaves
Protect Your Data Center During Power Outages and Heatwaves
IT Infrastructure located in a hot climate is a challenge. This is exasperated when heatwaves occur. Abnormally hot temperatures present considerable challenges to your Data Center. Learn more in this article on how to protect your data center during power outages and heatwaves. Protect You
Drug Stability Budget During Storage and Transit
In previous blog posts, we have explored the fact that many drugs, vaccines and pharmaceutical products require refrigerated conditions in order to maintain efficacy. We also examined the importance of minimizing temperature excursions during transportation. Establishing a drug stability budget can minimize discards and ensure a quality product is delivered to the end-user.
