No paper. No problems.

Here at Data Aire, what began as an initiative to retire some archaic impact printers is now an aggressive attempt to go paperless whenever possible. Plain and simple, it saves money. It maintains your privacy. It secures your data.

For the average business, the cost of paper documents is spread throughout the organization which can make it difficult to quantify; therefore, most businesses underestimate its cost.

Let’s break it down. The starting point for expenditure analysis is the cost of printing and mailing – printers, paper, pre-printed forms and postage. Printers are cheap, but the cartridges that put ink to paper drastically increase the cost. The cost is spread over time, so it often gets overlooked or lost in the long run. Paper and pre-printed forms require purchasing and inventory management and their own security – another hidden cost.

Costs also pile up as filing cabinets pile up. Maintaining paper records is expensive and inefficient. These costs are measured in real estate and lost productivity from time taken in filing and retrieving paper documents. Add sloppy filing, refiling and inconsistent filing methods and again the costs increase. In researching business issues, just think about the time it takes to even find the related documents. “Ka-ching”

On the other hand, the cost of maintaining electronic data gets cheaper by the day. Computer disk costs keep going down even as the disk storage space becomes more and more dense with capacity. This is money in the bank.

An often overlooked reason for going paperless is privacy and security. Although computer hackers get all the buzz in the news, information on paper files is much easier to steal than data on reasonably secured computerized files. Modern IT management has many tools at its disposal to lock out unauthorized users both within and outside an organization. Who’s responsible for the security of paper files? That’s often an unknown.

We are asking our customers and sales representatives to join us in this paperless effort. In the near future look for sales acknowledgments, sales invoices, product schematics, and other product literature to all be sent from Data Aire in electronic form.

Why You Need to be in with gForce IR In-row Coolers

John Martin — Fri, 03 May 2013 16:34:23 +0000

Data Aire has recently introduced our version of in-row coolers- gForce IR. They are the perfect complement to Data Aire’s (CRAC) equipment.

Why does a data room need in-row coolers? In-row coolers can be applied to cool load densities as high as 50KW per cabinet. With a gForce IR on either side of a cabinet, you could cool a 100KW cabinet. When it comes to handling high density loads, gForce IRs are hard to beat.

Unlike competitor’s products, they don’t protrude into the cold aisle, robbing you of as much as 12” of space.

Data Aire has also improved the method of air distribution from the in-row cooler. Most other in-row coolers direct the cooling air towards the server cabinets across the aisle from the in-coolers. They are one directional. Data Aire’s in-row-cooler has adjustable air distribution slots that can be arranged to distribute air three ways. Zero to 100% of the air can be thrown across the aisle if you choose. Zero to 100% of the air can be thrown either to the right and/or left down the row of cabinets on either side of the cooler. This allows the Data Aire in-row cooler to be applied with equal effectiveness in the middle of the row of server cabinets or at either end.

In addition, Data Aire’s in-row coolers are the most efficient on the market – using variable speed compressors which are quieter and more energy efficient than digital scroll compressors.

BENEFITS OF gForce IR:

Easy Installation:

In-row coolers are the simplest and easiest way to get the cold air to the servers. The hot air comes into the back of the in-row cooler and the cold air comes out the front. If you install them with the back side to the hot aisle and the front side to the cold aisle, it will work well without much more thought than making sure it is pointed in the right direction. Simple is good!

Scalable:

In-row coolers are more modular and more scalable than almost any other method of air conditioning a data room. Owners can purchase air conditioning in small increments as servers and cooling load are added to the data room. gForce IRs are designed with this in mind. They are equipped with casters so that new units can easily be rolled into place and ordered with quick connect water connections to reduce installation time, expense and mess.

Fits in Small Areas:

A raised computer room floor is not required with a gForce IR. This makes them ideal where no raised floor is planned or cannot be used.

Close Coupled:

In-row coolers are a winner when it comes to energy efficiency. The cooling air from the in-row equipment is as close as possible to the heat load. This saves energy by reducing fan horse power and parasitic motor heat loads. The in-row coolers also have multiple temperature sensors measuring entering air temperature at several different cabinets. This allows in-row coolers that are not needed to meet the cooling load to be cycled off and allows the remaining in-row coolers to precisely match the load in its row – saving more energy.

Redundancy:

Providing redundancy may be more expensive and difficult when using in-row coolers.

When a room is served by an under-floor distributor system N+1 CRAC units are provided per room. When coding by rows, however, N+1 in-row coolers must be provided per row.

Data Aire offers a full complement of options like unit-mounted humidifier, reheat and dual power connections with an auto changeover switch to standby power. The Zone Master option is available to link the in-row coolers in each zone together so they act as one. There are dozens of other options and as always, Data Aire stands ready to build units with the special options you request. Add all of this to the fact that Data Aire can build and ship in-row coolers within one week, and we can safely say that if you like the idea of using in-row coolers, you will love the gForce IR.
