A Silent Killer for Your Data Center Equipment

  Modern-day data centers implement a lot of measures for maintenance of data security for the protection of the information as well as physical security for avoiding data theft. Some of the measures are Firewalls, layer 2 security, ARP inspection and many more. A lot of effort is also given to maintaining the energy efficiency of data centers as these data centers use a big amount of energy for the whole operation. All of these executions have offered all data centers the strongest power for governing the information safely. But data centers have one common weakness and that is corrosion. This is occurring mainly because of the enhanced air pollution. Air pollution is one of the world's biggest health as well as environmental issues and is also bad for data centers all over the world. The source of air pollution is multiple and is context-specific. Sources of outdoor air pollution are waste burning from industries, vehicles, diesel generators etc. A silent killer for your data...

Why should you be concerned about data center contamination?

  Data center contamination is one of the major threats to all equipment and servers which are mainly found in big and closed rooms. The effects of contamination might range from some impaired power effectiveness to equipment destruction because of failure. But like all other aspects of life, these threats can also be reduced in some shape or form. There are various kinds of processes you can undergo to make sure your data center is clean and free from contamination threats. Contamination that puts an impact on data centers are mainly of two types ●             Particulate ●             Gaseous With particulate matter blocking your equipment's cooling fan and also heatsinks, the whole system has to work more for maintenance of temperature. This enhances the power requirement of the data center and also shortens the lifetime of the equipment. Some of the common examp...
