As temperatures rise within the data center environment, the risk of heat-related illnesses for technicians and other staff working in the hot aisle increases significantly.  Today we’ll do a deep dive into how you can the Heat Stress Index, or Heat Index, to influence operator safety. 

At Keep Your Cool, we often advocate for raising data center temperatures to improve efficiency and OpEx. However, as temperatures climb, so does the risk of heat-related illnesses for staff in hot aisles, exacerbated by high wattage servers, particularly those fueled by AI. Today, let's explore why measuring heat stress in these environments is crucial for both people and performance.

Gauging your cooling efficiency doesn’t need to be difficult. Today we’ll explore a simple metric - called the Uniformity Metric- and how you can use it to benchmark aisle efficiency.

Preventative Maintenance may seem like a “nice to do,” but should be should be the top of your to-do list. Today we’ll explore a real life case study tracking changes in a data center aisle.

We’re always making adjustments that make your AUDIT-BUDDY easier to use. We wanted to summarize some of the enhancements the team has been working over this year.

Efficient data center cooling is no longer a luxury but a necessity, impacting both energy costs and overall performance. Thermal Surveys are a crucial tool for optimizing your data center environment because they help evaluate your environment and identify any problem areas. Today, we’ll explore what is a thermal survey and the top ten reasons you want to consider conducting one yourself, or using a third party service.

Now you can quickly share your AUDIT-BUDDY data in one click- with the new “Report” generator. This allows you to quickly share your information in a custom, pre-organized report.

The demand for storage and processing of digital information has never been greater. Yet, Data Center managers are being challenged to “do more with less.” This article covers how to create a simple cooling optimization strategy.

In this article we’ll take a look at the past 12 months at Purkay Labs and summarize what new features we’ve brought to you.

While evaporative humidification systems are more energy efficient than legacy steam humidification, how do you know that the humidification is dispersed evenly across the white space?

As the price of gas continues to rise across the globe, operators are searching for new methods, technologies and strategies to save on electricity costs. One simple solution is to use baseline your existing environment to identify simple airflow inefficiencies. With AUDIT-BUDDY, it’s simple to collect data and take action.
