Solutions for Data Centers
Protecting data assets is a complex business
SEMCO understands the critical concerns of data centers
The mission is clear: ensure that stored information is always protected and accessible to clients. There are very real challenges that must be addressed to ensure thermal integrity and acoustic performance of data center facilities.
- Temperature control: Data centers require precise temperature control in a challenging environment.
- Overheating: If the servers overheat, it could lead to millions of dollars in downtime and/or data loss.
- Humidity: Too little humidity can create electrostatic build-up that can damage servers.
- Unique cooling and customization requirements: A comprehensive cooling portfolio can respond to the distinct needs and facility scales. Customization may still be necessary to tailor the infrastructure to precise requirements, ensuring optimal performance, scalability, and resource utilization.
- Energy efficiency: The importance of minimizing environmental impact and operational costs cannot be ignored.
- Sound control: Noisy chillers, generators, and mechanical and electrical equipment can disrupt workers and/or nearby communities.
- Building envelope retention: Penetrations in the building envelope to transfer air in and out of the building leave it susceptible to the outdoor environment.
- Mass air movement: Large modular duct is needed to bring in the volume of outdoor air necessary to keep equipment cool, but the labor and cost is a concern.
- Fire safety: In the event of a fire, servers and equipment can be destroyed before firefighters arrive.
