Data center efficiency is a never-ending pursuit for DCMs where they must balance efficiency, availability, and flexibility to effectively manage the many data centers parts as well as the whole. These parts include a compilation of servers, storage, network systems, mechanical/electrical systems, applications and tools, governance procedures and staff. While DCIM and other monitoring tools are key to managing the physical space of the data center, advance server equipment such as technologically and mechanically advanced data center lifts are also foundational to that efficiency.
Eine der häufigsten Aufgaben in Rechenzentren ist der physische Umgang mit Servern und anderen in Racks montierten Geräten. Da das Gerätegewicht gefährliche Werte erreicht, machen die Serverhersteller deutlich, dass für die Installation dieser Hardware mindestens 2 Personen erforderlich sind und bis zu 4 Personen schwere Geräte handhaben. Die meisten dieser Unternehmen empfehlen in ihren Betriebshandbüchern die Verwendung eines mechanischen Hebers für die Handhabung der Geräte.
While blade servers, condense packed servers, and UPS systems increase computing power they also increase physical demands that impact data center efficiency. For data centers without advanced server equipment solutions like server-handling devices, the lack of standard lifting procedures for equipment handling in a datacenter puts both the server equipment and the data center efficiency in jeopardy.
While advanced server equipment such as modern data center lifts can increase data center efficiency, not all solutions are created equally. As a consequence, DCMs must utilize all of the data derived from their DCIM solutions as well as facility history to determine the best server-handling device solutions to meet their needs. While the right choice can mean greater efficiency, the wrong choice can actually lower efficiency, costs and safety in ways that jeopardize the data center.
