Baseline Your Facility for Optimal Cooling Performance
In this case study, Purkay Labs conducted a baseline audit of a facility. The client wanted to prepare for a radical change in their cooling strategy and needed to know where they were starting from.
How to Respond to a Hot Spot in Your Data Center
Learn how our customer used the AUDIT-BUDDY to respond to a hot spot, and found a faulty BMS sensor.
Safely Increase Set-Points in a Hyperscale Environment
Learn how a hyperscale Data Center used Purkay Labs’ data to safely increase their set points.
Fixing Hot Spots During COVID-19
During COVID-19, increased demand on a major retailers’ online operations led to a number of hot spots threatening server uptime. Due to limited on-site staffing and changes to daily operations, the Client needed a way to solve the problem without third-party help. They used their AUDIT-BUDDY™ systems to diagnose and fix the hot spots in less than 24 hours.
Improve the IST Data Collection Process
Learn how a Bank used live AUDIT-BUDDY data to uncover a major CRAC design problem during the IST. They stopped testing to fix the problem before engaging on costly, laborious and incorrect tests.
Case Study: Freeing up 60 tons of Excess Cooling
Learn how this Tier IV Colocation provider freed up excess cooling capacity with Purkay Labs’ Dynamic Heat Map.
Resolving SLA Cooling Dispute
In April 2018, a Colocation provider was concerned about running out of reserve cooling because a Tenant had put in multiple high-flow tiles. The Colo used Purkay Labs’ On-Site Assessment service to determine if the high-flow tiles were necessary. Purkay Labs use their AUDIT-BUDDY system and a TSI Balometer to measure the inlet temperatures and CFM measurements across the facility and found that the Tenant was significantly overcooling the facility.
Benefits of CRAC Supply Control
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.
EEC Uses AUDIT-BUDDY
Electronic Environments Corporation (EEC) recently utilized AUDIT-BUDDY to monitor and baseline 100 racks in a facility…in under an hour. From the case study: AUDIT-BUDDY has provided a fast and easy method to obtain fundamental data points for immediate detection of potential problem areas as well as detailed ongoing analysis, allowing EEC to service its clients more effectively than ever.
Simple Airflow Adjustments Lead to Reducing OpEx
In this case study, Electronic Environments Corporation (EEC) used a AUDIT-BUDDY system to baseline 100 racks in less than 3 hours. EEC used the AUDIT-BUDDY data to immediate remove perforated tiles to safely increase inlet temperature and add containment curtains to reduce temperatures in a particularly dense aisle. This allowed the hospital to reduce OpEx and improve reliability with heavy capital expense.
