Network hardware requires constant feeding to ensure smooth operation. When performing calculations and processing datum, IT equipment consumes much power. At the same time, it emits too much heat, which can lead to multiple problems. The issue of energy supply and data center cooling are interconnected since the level of consumed power depends on the […]

No one can be 100% protected from an incident. Thus, the development of a plan aimed at solving the consequences of unforeseen emergencies is an obligatory part of any work organization. A DRP (disaster recovery plan) is a documented set of measures to be taken to ensure quick and effective work resuming after an unforeseen […]

The smooth and proper functioning of any organism depends on the timely identification of problems and their elimination. A data center is a complicated organism, where dozens of units are interconnected and communicate with each other, forming a complex system. Thus, a server room is a functioning body that requires regular examination and hazard elimination. […]

Bonding (or grounding) is a system of protective measures, which is implemented to prevent electric shocks when touching metal parts of energy-powered equipment. The whole structure consists of a metal circuit, a ground bus, and a ground wire. Network hardware is connected to PDUs and constantly powered to perform smoothly. Thus, server cabinets require obligatory […]

Servers and accompanying hardware are responsible for processing large volumes of datum, performing complicated calculations, and storing a great amount of private information. Processing tasks require a lot of energy. Thus, just like our “brain”, equipment consumes much energy and emits much heat. This is why the issue of server rack temperature monitoring is vital […]

Network systems come as the “hearts” and “brains” of modern businesses and enterprises. Their capacities and computing abilities are used in any task. Thus, to generate large volumes of datum, store information, and cope with processing tasks, such systems comprise hundreds of components. Brains consist of servers, PCs, switchers, and other active and passive hardware. […]

Network systems are responsible for computing tasks, as well as processing and storing data. Thus, they are found anywhere – in banks, stores, medical institutions, etc. To ensure secure and reliable storage of servers and accompanying devices, specialized constructions are used. Wall-mount racks are the most popular option for public areas. Wall-mount rack cabinets are […]

Network racks are specialized pieces of furniture designed for server equipment accommodation and storage. Computing hardware is well-known to be very sensitive to any kind of changes and influences in the environment. At the same time, equipment is very expensive, and failure in performance can lead to significant money loss. That is why it is […]

Computing hardware produces too much warmth during operation. Calculations and other computing operations with datum result in apparatus heating. Since dozens of active hardware are placed in a relatively small area of a server rack (or even in an enclosed body), heat accumulates quickly. Moreover, devices tend to exchange heat. All these factors will certainly […]

Every system administrator knows how important it is to maintain certain environmental conditions in server rooms since computing hardware is vulnerable to changes in the atmosphere. The Ashrae standard was developed to systematize this scope of indicators. This is a set of rules adopted for different types of premises to ensure optimal ventilation conditions and […]
