How to keep the server room cool with the right channel racks?



It is fairly simple to handle the server rooms of large multi channel companies with thousands of computers as they would have a budget and the resources to take care of the job. However, the real challenge is to keep balance of temperature and functions in the server room of a medium or small company as they would not have the budge to supply custom built systems. Here are a few things to look out for other than the rack itself such as rack 19 to keep the server room cool.

  • Elevated floor: Does the server room have an elevated floor? If not cooling is going to be tough! However, that is not the end of the world. Hot-cold aisles in several configurations can do the job quite well.
  • Channel racks: It is very important to seek professional assistance while choosing your channel racks. These racks, if well suited, play a major role in keeping the server cool.
  • Power Load: As simple as this sounds, reducing the power load can be tricky but achievable. This will drastically bring the temperatures down.

Questions you must ask before you purchase racks for your office



Different storage requirements call for different kinds of racking systems. Therefore there is no standard way of choosing a rack or no ideal rack such as pallet racks or 42u racks suited for all purposes either. It is important to understand a few basic factors about your office in order to determine the kind of racking best suited for the same. Here are a few questions you must ask yourself while you try to choose the racking system for your office.


  • Find out in details, what exactly do you need to store in the racks? If you need to store papers, a 19 inch cabinet will suffice just fine but if you have larger materials, you might need other options. Remember to consider weight along with volume.
  • Are you going to access you r cabinets frequently or on a weekly or monthly basis? The frequency of your usage will determine whether you should go for open shelved cabinets or close shelved cabinets.
