It can be hard to evaluate cooling resiliency while your Data Center is live. Check out this case study where Purkay Labs used their new predictive analysis feature that combines real-time data and prediction on how long a client's data center had if their cooling units went down.

We're excited to introduce a new feature in our AUDIT-MATE software: Isotherm Maps. This innovative enhancement adds a visual layer to our static maps, displaying exact temperature values directly on the map lines. Now, users can quickly and accurately identify specific temperature zones without constantly referring to the color scale.

Explore cutting-edge cooling technologies in our latest post from "Keep Your Cool," where we delve into innovations like liquid immersion cooling and AI-driven systems that are reshaping data center efficiency. Discover how these advancements can transform your operational strategies.

"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."

This week, I'm exploring the essential questions every data center manager should ask to ensure optimal cooling and efficiency. From understanding temperature consistency to airflow management and humidity control, I share insights and personal experiences on maintaining the best conditions for both equipment and personnel. Discover practical tips and strategies that can help you enhance your data center's performance and reliability.

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!

Don’t allow recirculated air take down your Chillers. This week on Keep Your Cool, we will be exploring how recirculated air can significantly impact chiller efficiency and overall operational costs.

Learn how a major Colo provider used Purkay Labs’ Thermal Survey service to identify the recirculating air at their rooftop chiller.

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.

urkay Labs, a leader in data center environmental monitoring solutions, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 7x24 Exchange International Spring 2024 Conference. The event will be held from June 9-12, 2024, at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. Purkay Labs will be located at Booth 28, showcasing the latest advancements in its Thermal Survey service.

As temperatures rise within the data center environment, the risk of heat-related illnesses for technicians and other staff working in the hot aisle increases significantly.  Today we’ll do a deep dive into how you can the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature o influence operator safety. 

As temperatures rise within the data center environment, the risk of heat-related illnesses for technicians and other staff working in the hot aisle increases significantly.  Today we’ll do a deep dive into how you can the Heat Stress Index, or Heat Index, to influence operator safety. 

At Keep Your Cool, we often advocate for raising data center temperatures to improve efficiency and OpEx. However, as temperatures climb, so does the risk of heat-related illnesses for staff in hot aisles, exacerbated by high wattage servers, particularly those fueled by AI. Today, let's explore why measuring heat stress in these environments is crucial for both people and performance.

Gauging your cooling efficiency doesn’t need to be difficult. Today we’ll explore a simple metric - called the Uniformity Metric- and how you can use it to benchmark aisle efficiency.

Preventative Maintenance may seem like a “nice to do,” but should be should be the top of your to-do list. Today we’ll explore a real life case study tracking changes in a data center aisle.

Purkay Labs is proud to be an annual sponsor for 7x24NE. Our team enjoyed the second ever International Data Center Day event held in Boston on April 11.

Data center environmental monitoring is essential for ensuring equipment and personnel safety by tracking and measuring factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow. Using accurate sensors, like the AUDIT-BUDDY, regular checks and an alert system can prevent equipment failure, reduce downtime, and ensure optimal conditions.
