How Containment Saved Energy for Saudi Aramco Data Centers
What are the different technologies available for cooling the data center? How does your data center layout affect your cooling choices?
Water damage to warehouses from storms or leaks can cost huge sums in building and inventory damage.
AKCP, the world's oldest and largest supplier of networked wired and wireless sensor solutions, monitor Simon Fraser University data center.
The university recently updated their data center facilities, installing racks with rear door heat exchangers (RDHx) for high density computing. To guard against disasters caused by water leaks from the RDHx the data center administrators installed a leak detection system. AKCP rope and spot water sensors were deployed.

This allows rapid response toguard against severe damage that water in the data center can cause.
