ServerLIFT® Corporation and Daxten Limited will demonstrate their “60-second server install” at Data Centre World (DCW) in London, from 21-22 March 2018. DCW’s visitors can actually use a server-handling device to install a device in a server rack. “Data center managers who experience this for the first time are amazed at how much easier it is to install and remove servers,” says Chad Rislov with Daxten.
ServerLIFT® 60-second install is considerably faster than an unassisted installation. That can take as long as a half an hour (not to mention it requires manually lifting heavy and expensive servers, risking injury and equipment damage). The hands-on demonstration, at DCW in London, allows visitors to actually see how a server-handling device can turn a dangerous three-person install into a smooth, efficient, professional, one-person operation.
At DCW, Visitors Try Out Equipment for Themselves
“Show visitors can actually see that there’s a server-handling solution. They may not have known that it even existed beforehand,” says Steve Bashkin, the Director of Sales at ServerLIFT® Corporation.
Rislov agrees. “When you’re installing a server in a data center, without a proper lift, you always have the problem of holding it in place and locking in the rails. All the while, you’re lifting it up, moving it down, and adjusting it. You have 3 people doing a job that 1 person should be able to do. With a server-handling device, on the other hand, you bring the server to the level you want, and a lone person can clip it in. It makes installations very fast and efficient.”
Rislov, the managing director of Daxten in Berlin, says that his company is exhibiting at Data Centre World in London, because, “it is, by far, the largest data-center-centric show in Europe. It gets the most visitors, and it’s the most interesting, with a good number of international customers.” DCW organizers anticipate the attendance of more than 20,000 data center technology enthusiasts this year.
ServerLIFT® at Data Centre World
ServerLIFT® will demonstrate that it produces the only server-handling device that can effectively carry out all 3 fundamental tasks of a data center lift.
1. Transporting (servers around the facility)
2. Positioning (servers precisely in the rack)
3. Installing (servers into or out of the rack).
When asked about alternative lifts, Jörg Poschen, the head of marketing at Daxten,, said, “There is no real alternative. With other types of lifts, operators cannot use them from the beginning to the end. They just cannot cover the whole installation and lifting process. These more primitive devices cannot lift the equipment right into the rails. You need a server-handling device that can lift it right into the server rails.”
Rislov, “expects a pretty good representation of all the products we have at the show. Several of the manufacturers are coming from different locations. Visitors can talk to not only the experts, including the manufacturers.”
The two partners are committed to making the data center environment safer and more effective.
