As millions of Americans head to the polls, data centers play a vital role behind the scenes to ensure a smooth and secure election process: from storing voter registration information to supporting real-time result reporting. In honor of Election Day, let's take a closer look at how data centers play a vital role in making sure the process runs seamlessly.

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.

Learn key strategies for forecasting and managing cooling costs in data centers, including how to account for seasonal changes, energy price fluctuations, operational growth, and the benefits of investing in energy-efficient technologies. Discover smart budgeting practices that can help optimize cooling expenses while maintaining operational efficiency.

Join us at Table 21 at the 7x24 Exchange International Fall Conference in Phoenix, AZ, from October 20-23, 2024. Purkay Labs will conduct live demos of our latest features, including Cooling Resiliency testing, uniformity metrics, and other ways to use real data optimize your cooling efficiency.

"What if you could predict a cooling failure before it caused downtime? Discover how machine learning is transforming data center resiliency and helping operators prevent thermal runaway."

Learn how scripted cooling system shutdowns can help data center operators test resiliency, predict failure windows, and train staff—without risking uptime or equipment. Discover how Purkay Labs' safe, data-driven approach ensures your cooling redundancy can handle today’s high heat loads.

When cooling systems fail in a data center, immediate action is critical to prevent costly damage. Learn the essential steps to take during a cooling emergency to keep your systems safe.

It can be hard to evaluate cooling resiliency while your Data Center is live. Check out this case study where Purkay Labs used their new predictive analysis feature that combines real-time data and prediction on how long a client's data center had if their cooling units went down.

We're excited to introduce a new feature in our AUDIT-MATE software: Isotherm Maps. This innovative enhancement adds a visual layer to our static maps, displaying exact temperature values directly on the map lines. Now, users can quickly and accurately identify specific temperature zones without constantly referring to the color scale.

Explore cutting-edge cooling technologies in our latest post from "Keep Your Cool," where we delve into innovations like liquid immersion cooling and AI-driven systems that are reshaping data center efficiency. Discover how these advancements can transform your operational strategies.

"Explore the vital role of "What If?" scenarios in safeguarding data center operations in our latest Keep Your Cool blog. Discover how strategic planning and predictive analysis can help you assess and enhance your cooling system's resilience without risking downtime."

This week, I'm exploring the essential questions every data center manager should ask to ensure optimal cooling and efficiency. From understanding temperature consistency to airflow management and humidity control, I share insights and personal experiences on maintaining the best conditions for both equipment and personnel. Discover practical tips and strategies that can help you enhance your data center's performance and reliability.

This week, we'll take a look at how a hot day on the golf course with my son offered surprising insights for data center management. Just as you wouldn't hit the links without plenty of water and a trusty hat, managing a data center without monitoring tools like AUDIT-BUDDY to keep the servers cool can be just as risky. After all, overheating can ruin your day, whether you're trying to avoid a bogey or a server meltdown!

Don’t allow recirculated air take down your Chillers. This week on Keep Your Cool, we will be exploring how recirculated air can significantly impact chiller efficiency and overall operational costs.

Learn how a major Colo provider used Purkay Labs’ Thermal Survey service to identify the recirculating air at their rooftop chiller.

Monitoring the rooftop chiller intake and exhaust may seem like a novel idea, but it’s absolutely crucial to running an efficient data center. Like the racks in the white space, chillers can be impacted by recirculating air, lowering the efficiency and effectiveness of your cooling. The best solution is to regularly monitor this environment.

urkay Labs, a leader in data center environmental monitoring solutions, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 7x24 Exchange International Spring 2024 Conference. The event will be held from June 9-12, 2024, at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. Purkay Labs will be located at Booth 28, showcasing the latest advancements in its Thermal Survey service.
