PUE and CCF: Why you need to measure both Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a widely used metric for evaluating the overall efficiency of data center infrastructure. In fact, PUE data reveals that the cooling infrastructure is the single largest consumer of data...by Lars Strong | Aug 20, 2013 | Blog
Server Coldspots: Like a spoiled vacation, they limit your capacity and efficiency The Atlantic in August is the best place to be on a steamy hot day. But, as you paddle out lazily, trying to avoid exuberant children, you might experience an unpleasant shock to your...We are committed to providing excellent data center cooling products and tools. As part of our dedication to the science and art of data center cooling optimization, we offer timely and insightful research which addresses the demands and trends related to cooling optimization and cooling management. We also recommend industry-recognized best practices and solutions for maintaining data center cooling best practices.

KoldLok is the industry standard for sealing raised-floor data centers. Designed to limit bypass airflow by efficiently sealing openings in raised floors.
Our line of rack airflow management products, specifically designed to control intake airflow in server racks. Our award-winning blanking panels are considered the 'best-fitting' in the industry.
Our modular containment solution and line of aisle airflow management products are specifically designed to block airflow, ensuring hot and cold aisle separation.
Ensuring there’s no wasted cooling is vital. Accurate control of the airflow through KoldLok Grommets allows us to consider energy-savings strategies such as increasing CRAC set points.

After having hands-on experience with nearly every available product on the market, HotLok is by far the superior choice. Not only does it create the best seal, but its universal mounting system and finger grips make it the easiest to use and reuse.

We have looked and looked for a solution like KoldLok. If KoldLok had been around ten years ago, we probably would not have needed to add a cooling unit back then. It improves the efficiency of our cooling system a great deal.

Managing cooling in your data center is a holistic process. We've developed a methodology which we call the 4R's of Airflow Management which addresses the specific needs of aisle containment, floor containment, hot aisle containment and then monitoring of the facility. Each part of the 4R's addresses particular needs which build upon each other and enhance the effectiveness of cooling optimization efforts.

The concept of liquid cooling in data centers has grown immensely in popularity over the last few years. Much of this has been driven by claims that liquid cooling is up to 2,000-3,000 times better than air cooling and is the only way to efficiently cool data centers...

For those of you who may not be familiar with the term “rack gap”, this refers to any opening or space between data center equipment racks. While it may seem like an understatement to say that sealing these gaps is an important aspect of airflow management, it is not...
