As technology continues to be a boon for the entrepreneurs, it had increased mobility, productivity, and ROI while shrinking the other expenses. While reaping benefits for the entrepreneurs it has to ensure that this technology has to be well maintained and ensure that all the IT operations and infrastructure is well maintained and secured for smooth functioning. Datacenter plays an essential role in providing the smooth operation of the IT infrastructure. Thus to make your application and website function 24/7 and server the incoming traffic the servers and server room should work 24/7 without any interruption. Here are some of the important and key aspects of the server room.
Temperature: Temperature control is the important factor for the server room. When keeping the server room cool, a well functioning conditioning unit is held in the move. However, not all these AC units will benefit your network infrastructure. Humidity is as damaging as the heat and the cooling, or the conditioning unit should control the moisture in the environment. Vapor traps and the water drainage should be critically installed leading out of the room from the cooling unit outlet.
Exhaust fans: Depending on the size of the server room, exhaust fans can be installed for hot air out while the conditioning or the cooling unit fills the room with the cool air to maintain the air circulation and the temperature degree. While it may be possible to maintain well manage and maintain without the exhaust fans however lack of this device can put a load on the conditioning unit and consuming more energy in the process.
Rack Assembly: Server racks can also help in keeping the server room cool and reducing the congestion of airflow. The air circulation is important in keeping the temperature controlled, with many wires and devices can harm and reduce the air flow. Computer racks and network are arranged in the way to help prevent the overheating and design the airflow and reduce the hindrance to climate control. The color coding in the cables wires and the tie helps in the rack management and hence ensure no air blockage.
Remove the clutter: Keeping the room clear with non-essential equipment, cable, and furniture. These objects can help in reducing the flow of the air and thus making it difficult for the airflow circulation During routine checks these unnecessary equipment and storage devices can be replaced and removed from the server rooms. Heat can cause irreparable damage to the network devices. Some common problems are like power supply failure, break down of switches and damage of the optic cables and converters.
