PelayanLIFT® recently partnered with the Universiti Alaska to improve safety and efficiency in the data center by donating a brand new ServerLIFT® [SL-500C] server handling lift.
PelayanLIFT®‘s Director of Sales, Steve Bashkin says, “The donation will enable this small team to make significant progress. While serving major clients, the University of Alaska is run by a professional staff. Up until now, they’ve been forced to complete projects with the help of an inadequate, warped data center lift. This team will now complete their assignments on time and move their heaviest equipment quickly, without additional problems.”
“For the first time, we will be agile enough to complete installs with just one operator on shift,” says University of Alaska’s Derek Ward, Manager, Office of IT – Data Center Operations. “We have faced a reduction in resources, specifically staffing. We are very grateful for this assistance from ServerLIFT® and their donation.”
Ward first got in touch with Bashkin and the ServerLIFT® team at the Data Center World Conference in Texas. “I didn’t even know that a lift existed until that first conversation,” notes Ward. “This reliable, pristine data center lift will allow us to execute installs across all shifts and meet important delivery goals.”
Pusat data terbesar di Alaska adalah kemudahan seluas 12 ribu kaki persegi yang terletak di kampus University of Alaska. Dibina pada tahun 1993, ia menempatkan 110+ rak dan melayani pelanggan di seluruh negeri, termasuk Kemudahan Satelit Alaska, Pusat Gempa Alaska, dan Balai Cerap Gunung Berapi Alaska bersama dengan beberapa gabungan University of Alaska.
Sehingga baru-baru ini, pengangkutan, penempatan, pemasangan, dan penghapusan pelayan sukar bagi pasukan pusat data kecil ini. Kombinasi beberapa kakitangan, peralatan mengangkat yang tidak mencukupi, dan mengangkat manual membuat persekitaran pusat data di mana projek ditangguhkan dan operator dan pelayan berisiko mengalami kecederaan. Penggunaan alat pengangkat lama yang dibantu manual yang melebihi 400 paun bermaksud banyak pengendali dan usaha fizikal yang berbahaya diperlukan untuk setiap pergerakan. Selain itu, platform lif yang mereka gunakan tidak lagi stabil.
