John Spillane November 27, 2017

Faced with cabinet relocation? Your data center staff needs to know how to depopulate and populate server cabinets safely to move them.

Likewise, servicing a rack’s midplane, internal power cables,

Moving Servers: 3 Rules of a Data Center Lift

John Spillane October 4, 2017

You’ve heard of the “rule of three’s.” In Latin, “omne trium perfectum,” roughly translated, means “everything that comes in threes is perfect.” We agree. At ServerLIFT®, we think constantly about moving servers in data centers. OK, so we’re a bit obsessive. But what are the fundamental rules required to move heavy data center hardware? What we

John Spillane August 25, 2017

This year we’ve noticed a trend in data centers; infrastructure management is struggling to keep up with the demand for connectivity.

John Spillane June 22, 2017

According to a 2016 Ponemon Institute study, the average cost of a single data center outage increased from $505,502 in 2010 to almost $740,357 last year.

Do your data center employees know how to install a server into a rack? There’s little point in a lifting solution for your servers if they aren’t installed correctly.

Why Our Customers Rely on ServerLIFT®

Without a ServerLIFT® data center lift here, customers, they would be...let’s just say, very displeased if we didn’t offer that sort of a service when they got there and they went to rack their gear and they needed something to help them. It’s something that they rely on.
Bill Cory,Flexential
ServerLIFT® makes a great product that is easy to use, and promotes safety within the data center. It is especially useful to us in our new data centers, where we have standardized on 9ft. racks. I was most pleased with how easily it allowed us to move and re-rack our large AS/400 systems during a limited outage window.
Brad Gibbs,Lead Data Center Support
I would recommend it 100%. It literally has saved my team’s backs. This last year was our biggest year, and for us to do as much as we did (we did almost 200 racks in 6 months)...you can’t do that kind of work without having something that makes your job easier. ServerLIFT® solutions have taken all of that burden off of my team.
April Turner,Groupware Tech
I was initially using a manual lift to move servers and other equipment. When the ServerLIFT® electric model came out it was an even better solution. If I have a server that needs to be installed and I am the only one available, I can get it down quickly and easily with the ServerLIFT® unit.
Dave Reno,IT Manager
We have a ServerLIFT® solution and it’s awesome. It can lift 500 lbs without issue. Even the largest Cisco devices can be installed using it. Our facilities group uses it to pull motors from CRAC Units. It’s well worth the investment.
Dan Balitewicz,Sr. Manager – Infrastructure Operations
In 15 minutes, we racked an HP chassis and 15 new hard drive enclosures, with only one engineer. Using our new ServerLIFT® lift is much safer and quicker than using 3 engineers.
Francisco Odiz, Triara
Safety is our #1 priority. Originally, we didn’t have the resources to install the hardware safely. We were using other brands of both battery- operated and hand-crank lifts, but they required too much maintenance. Now, our ServerLIFT® unit is well-used and everybody is happy with the 'Cadillac' we bought. It’s a great investment.
Rory Bennett,Senior Data Center Manager, AT&T Mobility
The ServerLIFT® unit was of great benefit during the racking of our blade centers. With the use of the strap kit, one person was able to unbox and safely place the 300-pound device into a rack on the rails. The benefit of not having to remove the blades and power supply components from the chassis to make it lighter saved time and potential damage.
