What are the advantages of blanking panels in the data center, and how do they assist in managing data center airflow.
Containment in the data center means the prevention of hot and cold air mixing. This improves cooling efficiency and lowers costs.
How monitoring differential air pressure can help manage temperature and reduce energy costs.
Simon Fraser University has constructed a new research data center. It is a 175 rack facility which houses Cedar, the world's 50th largest supercomputer. Construction was recently completed with 107 racks fully populated. AKCP sensor solutions were chosen to monitor the data center and the mechanical room which houses the chilled water plant equipment.
In the initial phase, spot and rope water sensors have been installed in the mechanical room connected with AKCP sensorProbeX+ SNMP enabled base units. The spot and rope water sensors are placed at key points where leaks are most likely to occur. Rope water sensors are laid out along the lengths of pipes or perimeter of an enclosure.
