Airflow Management

GEMIN Technologies developed the Cooling Capacity Assessment to help data center mangers understand their cooling infrastructure utilization before making important decisions about infrastructure investments. The service helps managers to benchmark existing conditions, identify opportunity for improvement, and provide recommendations for fixing problems. Based on an original research report conducted by GEMIN Technologies of 45 data centers worldwide, the average data center uses 3.9 times more cooling capacity than IT load. This excessive use of cooling results from a poor airflow management strategy, as well as the misunderstanding and misdiagnoses of cooling problems. Few managers realize that many computer room cooling problems can be solved by simply implementing an AFM strategy, rather than adding more costly cooling units. .

The Cooling Capacity Assessment will analyze your data center cooling infrastructure to identify costly problem areas, as well suggest the solutions to fix them. The end result is reduced cooling costs and increased energy efficiency, and the potential to add more IT gear using your current cooling infrastructure. Highlights of the service include:

• Cooling Capacity Factor (CCF) Calculation
• Stranded Capacity Analysis
• Airflow Management (AFM) Review
• Thermographic Analysis

Keep an eye on network closets, server rooms, and enterprise level data centers with fully scalable environmental monitoring solutions Gemin Investments has to offer. Configure alert notifications to receive Email, SMS, SNMP or voice call alarms to notify you when something goes wrong. Switch specific outlets on or off on alarm or manually through the GUI.
