Data Centre Rack Solutions & Airflow Management

data center rack management

Heat management and management of extensive cable system are the major challenges which are arising due to present scenario of merging complex computer arrangements. Excellent planning and state of art designing is required for the heat and cable management as managing the discharge of heat from the cables is very important. Micro Data center solutions which include heat management are based on primary methods incorporated with modern methods to optimize the cooling solutions for data center racks.

A drastic increase has been observed in setting up of servers across various institutions all-round the globe and thus a huge increase in data center setups has been observed. With increasing setups of data centers, effective data center solutions are required. The size and number of the data centers and micro data centres have also seen a drastic rise. The number of servers can be up to thousands in large data centers that support a remarkably large number of users. Thus to manage these large data centers, perfect data center solutions and Data center rack management are needed. For effective data center solutions a lot of factors have to be considered. Some of the factors for perfect data center solutions designs are cooling arrangements, heat dissipation, cable management and also effective power consumption.

Challenges in providing effective data center solutions

Apart from the above mentioned factors which play a crucial role in designing an effective data center solution and Data Center Racks, weight management is also a vital factor that must be considered in a data center. For the floor designers, it is always a challenge to manage the weight per square meter considering the static weight of the servers in the racks. Another major aspect is the cooling factor in complex equipment which is achieve with the use of perforations doors and thermal sealing which make sure that the hot and cool air don’t get mixed. Rack manufacturers operate in unison with the PAC they together take a decision on rack and corridor solutions and the power supply at the rack so that more and more servers and equipment can be employed on the racks.

Date center solution available at NetrackIndia

At NetrackIndia, a variety of products are available which provide effective data center solutions. For data center solutions, user can chose from the following products:

Corridors

The corridors provide any mixing of hot and cold air and thus prevent the short circuiting of hot and cold air. This mixing is prevented by providing doors at both ends of the cold aisle. Apart from the doors, all cabinets are provided with blanking panels, plinth and rack side thermal sealing so that the only way left for the cold air is through the equipment.

Hot Air Corridors - HAC

error

Hot Air Corridors - HAC

The HAC concept is achieved by enclosing both ends of the Hot aisle and are closed using Swing / Sliding Doors or Blinds for cold air containment and the Hot air returns to PAC through remaining area as shown in the Concept Drawing.


Cold Air Corridors - CAC

error

Horizontal Panel with Chimney

The CAC concept is achieved by enclosing both ends of the cold aisle and are closed using Swing / Sliding Doors or Blinds for cold air containment. In addition all cabinets are fitted with Plinth, Rack Side Thermal Sealing and Blanking Panels between the equipment, in this way the only route for the Cold air is through the equipment.


error

Horizontal Panel without Chimney

The CAC concept is achieved by enclosing both ends of the Cold aisle and are closed using Swing / Sliding Doors or Blinds for cold air containment. In addition all cabinets are fitted with Plinth, Rack Side Thermal Sealing and Blanking Panels between the equipment and route the cold through the equipment.


error

Vertical Panel with Chimney

The CAC concept is achieved by enclosing both ends of the Cold aisle and are closed using Swing / Sliding Doors or Blinds for Cold Air containment. In addition all cabinets are fitted with Plinth, Rack Side Thermal Sealing and blanking panels between the equipment, in this way the only route for the Cold air is through the equipment.


error

Vertical Panel without Chimney

The concept is achieved by enclosing both ends of the cold aisle and are closed using Swing / Sliding Doors or Blinds for cold air containment. In addition all cabinets are fitted with Plinth, Air Seal Kit and blanking panels between the equipment and route the Cold air through the equipment.


Thermal Managment

error

Thermal Managment Solution

The Servers and Equipments used in Data Centre Solutions and Server Rooms generate a lot of heat and when these equipments are housed in the rack, manufacturer has to provide a system to take out the hot air and allow more cool air to enter front side of the Racks.


Air Diverter Solution

error

Air Diverter Solution

Air Diverter systems are designed carefully to Manage cooling requirements of side airflow Equipments, such as Cisco Nexus switch. The biggest challenge in the Data Centre will be managing cross airflow, This will create thermal short circuits and hot air blockages.


Brush Modules

error

Brush Tile

Standard all Raised Floor made of 2X2 Feet Tiles installed on Grid Frame, NetRack offers ready to use Brush Tile 2X2 feet has 75X450-3 No cutout with high quality Nylon high density brush to reduce Cold air leakage. Tile can be swapped with existing conventional tile at required area to get below advantages-


error

Brush Modules

Moulded Brush Modules are ready made solutions to avoid air flow leakage at raise flow & available in different sizes and shapes to suit site requirements.


Enhanced Cooling

error

Enhanced Cooling

To increase Cold air entry from front side and Exhaust Hot air at back side rack NetRack offers, Inlet Blower Module, Roof Blower Module and Back Door Blower Modules.


Air Seal Kit

error

Air Seal Kit

This will minimize hot & cold air Mixing / short circuit and divert the air to enter mission critical equipments. This will be critical accessory for datacenter Racks to increase the efficiency of Thermal management.


Brush Modules

error

Blanking Panels

Tool-less blanking panel designed to install & uninstall the Panels quickly, compared to conventional Screwed Blanking panel. The function will be to prevent of air flow to the unused rack space & avoid Thermal short circuite will be used with Air Seal Kit.
