The Importance of Blanking Panels in Data Centers The need for data center solutions also increased over time with the growing importance of data centers and their critical role in organizations. The focus of such data center solutions is to ensure sufficient cooling of the mission-critical equipment hosted by the data centers, effective airflow management, and efficient data center functioning with zero downtime. Need to keep data centers cool One of the primary determining factors of an organization’s growth is scalability. So, with time organizations need to accommodate additional server racks, which may result in overheating. Here blanking panels play an essential role in the data center solution to keep the air cool.  These blanking panels, also known as filler panels, are deployed on single or multiple unused rack units. They act as a barrier for the unused U Space in racks preventing hot and cold air from mixing. Such an arrangement efficiently prevents

A data center hosting critical IT equipment requires an efficient air flow management strategy to ensure the overall efficiency and sustainability of the data center. Hence, a significant part of the data center’s power is consumed to assure that the servers and equipment are cooled with advanced cooling technologies and optimal cooling solutions. This guarantees equipment protection and empowers the data center to meet the uptime goals in a cost-efficient manner. Need for temperature regulation Maintaining the right temperature and Humidity is quite a struggle for data center designers and managers. However, it is critical to ensure a maintained temperature/Humidity to ensure Equipments are working at Optimal condition. The airflow and temperature regulation problems occur due to varying density requirements of each cabinet in the data center. Issues in maintaining the temperature also occur due to improper cabling and patching work. As it is understood that with every watt of power consumed, it transforms into heat. Facts

The criticality of the role of the data center enhances the need for data center solutions that can ensure sufficient cooling, effective airflow management, and agile functionality of the data center hosting critical equipment and servers. Need for containment solution Containment solution comes as a robust data center solution that is used to separate cold air supply from the hot exhaust air released from the equipment to stabilize the data center's temperature while improving the equipment's efficiency and performance. The containment solution also reduces energy consumption, improving the data center's agility. Now, while offering a containment solution, data centers opt for hot and cold aisle containment to reduce operational costs while increasing cooling efficiency. According to secondary research, about 80% of data centers have already implemented either hot or cold aisle containment. It is the most effective and comprehensive solution to ensure efficient airflow. The Cold Aisle Containment (CAC) solution ensures a uniform flow of cold

How are data centers cooled? A 21st-century approach The aspect of data center cooling has become crucial with the growing dependency of IT enterprises on the data center. As the older data centers are starting to get replaced by the new hyper-scale facilities, it is becoming even more essential to ensure effective power utilization and efficiency of these new data centers. Need to improve cooling efficiency According to secondary research, data centers consume approximately (1-1.5) % of global electricity, which is expected to rise further with digital transformation. With such an increase in power density, the data centers would need an efficient cooling strategy to keep the equipment from getting damaged due to fire or excessive heat. The cooling system in a modern data center follows the below parameters to achieve efficiency since the cooling system is directly connected with the overall efficiency of the data center. Temperatures of the server

Data Center Racks Over the years with digitalization, the data center industry has evolved from a simple setup to a more complex counterpart. Research and development in this field helped bring the cutting edge DC technology. This has enhanced the relevance of data center racks in assisting networking, computing, and storage equipment and optimizing the data center ecosystem. All of this has increased the criticality of the selection criteria for data center racks which have gained immense traction lately. The deciding factors There are several factors that play an important role in choosing racks for a data center. Specifically, details about size and load-bearing capacity are essential determinants. Since racks are an essential part of the data center operation, hence their selection should be made with practicality and caution. Just as choosing an IT rack is critical for data center availability, similarly choosing the right rack accessories can

Power needs vary from one data center to the other based on which all-in-one power solutions or their basic counterparts are offered as solutions. Choosing a PDU It is natural to be overwhelmed by the available Power Distribution Unit options while choosing the best for one’s server rack. This is followed by the need for a quality product, power monitoring, number of power socket outlets, etc. For organizations requiring both basic and intelligent PDU solutions. These PDUs are not only devices with multiple outlets designed to distribute power to computers, servers, network switches in a rack but also come in different capacities and capabilities such as remote power management solutions. Hence, it is natural for the question to pop up that the selection criteria will ensure that a particular PDU is perfect for an IT server rack or network closet. Guideline for potential
