L’infrastruttura mondiale sta diventando sempre più elettrica, guidata dalla tecnologia e dalla necessità di soluzioni più sostenibili. Con l’aumento della domanda di internet e del cloud, i gestori dei data center sono responsabili dei sistemi della missione fondamentale che abilitano questi servizi. L’allestimento di un data center è un processo dinamico che richiede l’implementazione di una varietà di soluzioni per la connessione e la protezione.
nVent è in grado di fornire soluzioni che aggiungono protezione fondamentale e resilienza ai sistemi essenziali in tutte le infrastrutture del data center. Dal supporto diretto di apparecchiature IT avanzate al funzionamento regolare delle infrastrutture, molte soluzioni nVent possono coadiuvare nel supporto dei processi dalla missione fondamentale a ogni livello dell’attività.
Constant Connections
Data centers need to keep running 24/7, every day of the year. Because of the importance of uptime, data centers deploy a wide range of monitoring systems that help staff pinpoint and react to potential problems as quickly as possible.
For instance, liquid and sensitive electronics do not mix. However, liquid plays an integral role in data centers keeping electronics cool so the challenge facing data centers is not as simple as removing liquid sources. Data center staff need to constantly be aware of where and how liquids are flowing through facilities. Any liquid coming into the data center needs to be connected to a leak detection system so that data center staff can quickly identify and react to leaks to minimize damage and downtime.
Sebbene i data center di nuova costruzione siano progettati tenendo conto del rilevamento e della prevenzione delle perdite, molti di loro si trovano in edifici commerciali standard o magazzini ristrutturati, dove il personale può essere messo alla prova da fonti di perdita sconosciute o poco conosciute. In questi casi, diventa ancora più importante un attento rilevamento delle perdite e progetti di prevenzione.
Weathering Winter
Running a data center is a delicate operation to begin with, but data centers located in Northern Europe are faced with the additional challenge of dealing with the hazards of winter weather.
Water and coolant liquid often flow through pipes located on the roofs of facilities and those pipes need to be protected from frost to ensure a consistent flow of liquid and prevent pipes from breaking. Snow and ice buildup can pose threats to data center operations as well, blocking bifold vents that circulate fresh air into data centers making driveways and walkways slippery, creating safety hazards for delivery and maintenance workers.
nVent provides a wide range of solutions that keep liquids flowing and prevent snow and ice buildup, all the while monitoring liquid sources for leaks. Heat tracing cables keep pipes and walkways warm and frost free, leak detection solutions pinpoint leaks and everything connects to the same centralized system that easily connects to customers’ building management systems. Ciò fornisce consapevolezza e protezione fondamentali al personale del data center. In the event of a liquid leak, nVent’s systems can automatically trigger equipment shutdowns, sound an alarm or alert staff by text message.
Complexity leads to mistakes, which can lead to failure. Data centers staff prioritize taking measures to prevent leaks and nVent solutions bring simplicity and convenience to designing, installing and maintaining these critical systems. Many people rely on smooth and uninterrupted access to the internet—it is important to keep data centers up and running.
