Learn the truth behind common data center cooling myths that can lead to inefficiency and higher costs. This article debunks popular misconceptions—such as the belief that lower temperatures always mean better performance—and offers practical strategies for optimizing cooling systems. Discover how right-sizing, alternative cooling methods, and regular maintenance can improve efficiency and reduce operational expenses.

Looking for immediate energy savings in your data center? Check out these five quick wins for improving cooling efficiency—no major overhauls required!

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.

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 case study, a Fortune 50 Telecommunications provider (the Client) wanted to examine the impact of changing CRAC control system on the running of the data center. Using Purkay Labs’ On-Site Assessment Service to benchmark the changes, the Client was able prove that they were be able to control inlet temperatures (and avoid variations), reduce CRAC energy use to run more efficiently. This had tremendous impact on the operating expenses, saving the Client $10K in the first month and reducing PUE by .03.
