Learn how scripted cooling system shutdowns can help data center operators test resiliency, predict failure windows, and train staff—without risking uptime or equipment. Discover how Purkay Labs' safe, data-driven approach ensures your cooling redundancy can handle today’s high heat loads.

This week, we'll take a look at how a hot day on the golf course with my son offered surprising insights for data center management. Just as you wouldn't hit the links without plenty of water and a trusty hat, managing a data center without monitoring tools like AUDIT-BUDDY to keep the servers cool can be just as risky. After all, overheating can ruin your day, whether you're trying to avoid a bogey or a server meltdown!

Monitoring the rooftop chiller intake and exhaust may seem like a novel idea, but it’s absolutely crucial to running an efficient data center. Like the racks in the white space, chillers can be impacted by recirculating air, lowering the efficiency and effectiveness of your cooling. The best solution is to regularly monitor this environment.

Where do you begin when implementing a successful Data Center sustainability program? With a simple thermal survey. good thermal survey is like turning on a powerful spotlight, revealing the hidden realms that impact your operations’ efficiency, sustainability and bottom life.
