Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are an important part of any data center or IT infrastructure. Since it provides reliable power distribution to multiple devices hence, choosing the right PDU form factor and mounting option as per requirement is essential for maximizing – efficiency and space utilization; making the process of power management seamless. Choosing the right PDU form for enhanced experience The form factor of a PDU refers to its physical size and design. Depending upon the space, each data center chooses its PDU form. In this regard, rack-mount PDUs are the most common type of PDU used in data centers. They are designed in such a way as to fit within standard IT racks enclosures. They can be either mounted horizontally or vertically depending on the available space and configuration. Horizontal rack-mount PDUs are typically mounted in the 1U or 2U space of a standard 19-inch rack. They are ideal for small data

Data in our digital world has become an important part of our being. Now, the data centers housing servers that store data consume huge amounts of electricity. Hence, as the demand for digital services continues to rise, there is a growing need for sustainable energy solutions. In fact, the look out is for data centers that can be solely powered by renewable energy. Power demands and environmental impacts Historically, many data centers have been powered by fossil fuels, especially natural gas and coal. These energy sources, although reliable and cost-effective, are not sustainable in the long term due to their environmental impact, especially greenhouse gas emissions. According to secondary research, in 2020, data centers consumed around 1% of global electricity. However, this percentage is expected to rise with each passing year. Hence, efforts are being made to embrace sustainable energy solutions as much as possible to reduce the impact on climate change.

The world around us is changing rapidly since we now have entered the digital era - the time of growth and transformation. Our data centers too evolved with the growing demand for operational efficiency as well as managed noise levels. Need for controlling noise in the server rooms Noise beyond a certain level can adversely affect employee comfort, productivity, and overall focus. This makes it important to address the issue. Now, Netrack being an industry leader in innovative data center solutions understands the criticality of reducing noise in the server rooms. In fact, server rooms across all organizations are known to produce high level noise due to cooling systems, fans, and big equipment. Continuous exposure to such noise can lead to several health hazards for professionals working in that environment daily. One such health hazard due to prolonged exposure to noise is noise-induced hearing loss. Further, with long-term exposure it can permanently

Server cabinets play a critical role in the evolving world of technology. They house essential IT equipment and servers and ensure their security, cooling, and operational efficiency. However, such an advantage also has some challenges such as; the noise generated from servers, switches, and other equipment can be disruptive and harmful. Hence solutions that can help to manage and reduce this noise is essential. So, Netrack designed soundproof server racks like the AcoustiRACK™ Active and AcoustiRACK™ Passive to help with noise reduction in hospitals, banks, or R&D facilities. Side effects of IT noise that cannot be ignored High-frequency noise can easily penetrate walls and other barriers, while low-frequency noise can cause vibrations difficult to manage. Compared to automobile noise which is around 70-85 dB with a mixture of low and high frequencies is intermittent and less harmful than IT noise. Even chimneys generate noise but at 40-60 Hz which can be disturbing but not

We are living in a data-driven world. Hence, it becomes essential to maintain the efficiency and reliability of data centers to ensure optimal performance of equipment and effective management of cooling systems. Containment solution must be mentioned in this regard which is designed in such a way as to isolate hot and cold airflows. This helps to improve the overall efficiency of cooling systems in data centers. Understanding the requirement of containment solutions The high density of servers and other IT equipment contributes to a large amount of heat in data centers. Now, if this heat is not vented out appropriately, it can result in equipment failure, performance reduction, and even increase in energy costs. To save data centers from such challenges, containment systems are implemented. The containment systems prevent the mixing of hot and cold air and helps to create a controlled environment where the cooling can be directed to the required

The growing demand for efficient data management has given rise to the need for effective data center solutions. In this regard, data center performance can be optimized with efficient cooling and airflow management. Hence, emerged the need for containment solutions which are designed to separate the cold air supply from the hot exhaust air. This helps to stabilize the temperature which results in enhancing equipment performance, and reducing energy consumption. Understanding containment solutions and their need There are two types of containment solutions used in data centers: Cold Aisle Containment (CAC) and Hot Aisle Containment (HAC). Cold aisle containment surrounds the cold aisle with ceiling panels and doors at the ends of the aisle. This setup provides a uniform flow of cold air directly to the equipment through the perforated floor tiles. This remains contained within the aisle, preventing it from mixing with the hot exhaust air. The sealing of the cold aisle ensures
