must increase beyond existing room

capabilities. Data Center Resources offers

several options for providing additional

cooling without the expense and disruption

of a new CRAC unit. These include

in-row cooling units, self-contained cooling

cabinets and portable cooling units.

MAXIMIZE COOLING EFFICIENCY

Managing the supply and return air from

CRAC/CRAH units is the key to maximizing

cooling infrastructure. Higher set points,

higher return temperature and lower fan

speeds all affect capacity and efficiency.

Solutions we offer to maximize efficiency

include CRAC Hoods, Floor Grommets and

Floor Plenum Partitions.

AIRFLOW MANAGEMENT

Managing the airflow around server

cabinets is critical to prevent hardware

from overheating. This includes getting

sufficient supply air to servers and

preventing exhaust air from back of rack

to flow through the cabinet to the server

intake. Solutions to manage airflow include

blanking panels, expanding foam tape and

high-flow floor tiles.

MAXIMIZE YOUR COOLING POTENTIALData Center Resources focuses on helping our customers to get

the most capacity, efficiency and performance out of their existing

cooling infrastructures.

Page 11: Data Center Resources | Innovative Technical Solutions

Optimizing your cooling infrastructure can provide two benefits. The most obvious

is a significant reduction in your energy bill. In addition, maximizing efficiency will

increase cooling capacity, which can eliminate the need to purchase additional

cooling units.

“ Saving energy is more than just “being green.” Making data

centers more energy efficient will go a long way in meeting

the ever-growing demand for increased computing and

MONITOR FOR INCREASED RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY

Our solutions gather and organize data to prevent downtime

and maximize efficiency program results.

BATTERY MONITORINGOur patented Battery Monitoring System continuously

captures and securely transmits battery performance

data. Suited for both VRLA and wet cell batteries, the

system is cost effective and can be easily installed

on UPS, generator, DC plant and switchgear battery

systems. It is the most comprehensive, cost effective

and easy to install system on the market today.

BRANCH CIRCUIT MONITORINGIt is a best practice to monitor power at the circuit level

to prevent overloads. Many sites have difficulty doing

this if they do not have smart panel boards or rack power

strips. It is not only costly to add these features, they

require power down servers. New technology cost-

effectively adds monitoring capability to circuits in

a live environment with no downtime.

COOL SHIELD MANAGERThis software solution is a simple but effective tool

for aggregating and visualizing critical environmental

and power information to safely achieve efficiency

gains. They allow you to visualize power and cooling

conditions in real-time by linking rack power and

temperature sensors to your cabinet floor plans.

Alert thresholds monitoring the effects of incremental

changes to maximize efficiency programs.

DCIM SOFTWAREData Center Infrastructure Monitoring (DCIM)

solutions monitor and manage critical assets in

one integrated package. Our enterprise solution allows

multi-site management for power, cooling, racks and

servers, enabling you to instantly see power and cabling

chain for each server. Asset tracking provides location,

service, warranty and performance information on each

data center component.

Page 15: Data Center Resources | Innovative Technical Solutions

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is often prescribed by consultants to

get a baseline of temperature and airflow in a data center. These are complicated,

expensive and often wildly inaccurate. Properly placed sensors and monitoring

software can provide real-world visualization of environmental conditions and give

you instant results of changes as they are implemented.

Data Center Monitoring

“ To keep up to speed with the ever-changing IT landscape,

IT pros must be empowered to take a holistic approach to

managing their networking, storage and security through a

software-defined data center.”

- Michael Thompson, TACKLING THE HURDLES OF THE SOFTWARE-DEFINED DATA CENTER

Data Center Flooring

Access floor systems were

designed to get cool air from

AC units to IT hardware. In the

past, this component of the

data center was considered a

commodity item. With the trend

toward higher rack densities,

it has become imperative that

floor systems have proper

weight capacity and deliver

sufficient air flow. Our access

floor systems target those

specific areas.

HIGH-FLOW FLOOR TILESAs today’s data center generates more

heat load, more cooling is needed. Until

now, only 25 percent open area perforated

panels have been available. High-Flow floor

tiles are available in 55 percent and 66

percent perforation models to deliver more

than twice as much cool air in your cold

aisle, exactly where your servers need it.

EASY VIEW CLEAR FLOOR TILESDesigned for easy viewing of valves,

meters and underfloor cavity, clear floor

tiles provide a quick glimpse of the general

condition of the plenum space and displays

indicating temperature and air pressure

underneath the tile. Recognizing cooling

issues before they become dangerous is

essential to critical equipment.

NEW AND REPLACEMENT FLOOR TILESAccess floors have existed since the 1960’s

and seen many changes. Over the years,

manufacturers and models have come and

gone. Our staff includes individuals who

have more than 30 years’ experience in the

industry. We can match your existing tiles

or recommend new ones.

FLOOR ACCESSORIESOur solutions enhance and support your

raised floor infrastructure. Floor pulls allow

quick movement of tiles for servicing in the
