As you are well aware, it isn’t simple setting up and running a data center. There are always hardware upgrades, new best practices, and probably some unexpected issues you never had to consider before. Whether you’re buying a new data center lift or just trying to stay on top of industry developments, here is some info that might help.
1. Questions You Should Ask Your Data Center Lift Provider
Every data center has unique needs. From rack height to the number of employees on the floor, conditions vary widely. The last thing you want to do is invest your time and money into subpar equipment that won’t get the job done. Best-case scenario, you’re sacrificing productivity. Worst case, you could be opening the door to safety hazards for your employees. That’s why we have put together a comprehensive list of questions to ask before making a final purchase on a data center lift, so you can feel assured that you’re getting exactly the equipment you need.
