"Explore the vital role of "What If?" scenarios in safeguarding data center operations in our latest Keep Your Cool blog. Discover how strategic planning and predictive analysis can help you assess and enhance your cooling system's resilience without risking downtime."

Efficient data center cooling is no longer a luxury but a necessity, impacting both energy costs and overall performance. Thermal Surveys are a crucial tool for optimizing your data center environment because they help evaluate your environment and identify any problem areas. Today, we’ll explore what is a thermal survey and the top ten reasons you want to consider conducting one yourself, or using a third party service.

Understanding the baseline conditions of a data center is crucial for its sustainability journey. Server Delta-T, measuring the temperature rise of cooling air at the server inlet and exhaust, is a key metric impacting server reliability and energy efficiency. Maintaining an optimal Delta-T, typically in the range of 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, ensures efficient cooling. Learn more about the benefits of measuring your server delta-T here.

Purkay Labs reflects on a year of achievements in 2023, highlighting the a new Thermal Survey Service, a new blog called “Keep Your Cool”, and some new user-friendly updates to our software. As always we were proud to sponsor several data center conferences, and are anticipating a year of continued innovation in 2024.

By applying the Six Sigma DMAIC process & the AUDIT-BUDDY system, data center operators can systematically improve their cooling systems and achieve significant improvements in efficiency and reliability

In this article we’ll take a look at the past 12 months at Purkay Labs and summarize what new features we’ve brought to you.
