Eliminate Data Center Hot Spots with HotSpotr™

FREE 30 Day Trial Offer on HotSpotr

Data Center (or server) Hot Spots are becoming more common with the introduction of higher density racks and blade servers. Racks that previously housed 1-3 kilowatts (kW) of IT equipment are now being asked to support 10 -15 kW or more on the same raised floor.

The HotSpotr line of active airflow components has been specifically designed to quickly and reliably solve a variety of Data Center cooling issues and your personnel can self install them in 30 minutes. Computer room cooling issues that can be quickly solved with HotSpotr products  include underfloor obstructions, shallow raised floor height, high density racks, poor computer room air conditioners (CRAC) placement, poor rack placement, and poor room layout. In short, the HotSpotr is a quick and effective solution to solve Data Center airflow and cooling problems that cannot be solved by simple passive methods.

Hot Spots Are Localized
Data center hot spots typically result from five factors:

• concentrated server heat production
• too little cool airflow to densely populated racks
• invisible vortices under the floor
• obstructions in the room
• hot air sneaking into the intakes of your rack-top servers.

HotSpotr eliminates the heat build-up these factors cause. Download the HotSpotr brochure>>

Intelligent Cooling.
HotSpotr is a family of powered airflow improvement products that move chilled data center air to precisely where it is needed the most, and remove heated exhaust air directly back to your computer room air conditioners (CRACs). Top-of-the-line HotSpotr models are thermostatically
controlled by the included temperature sensors; less expensive models can be controlled by operators or will run continuously.

Integrated Solution.
HotSpotrs connect to most building management systems so the building management system’s Emergency Power Off function will turn off your HotSpotrs, too. HotSpotr can be used with both 110- and 240-volt power.

No Interruptions.
Installation requires no downtime or movement of racks. Each HotSpotr improves cooling in 1-3 racks. Several HotSpotrs can be used at the same time to cool larger areas.

Use this chart to determine whether you have adequate cooling
in your data center:

1. What is the total capacity of all the CRACs you have running?  ____ Tons
2. What is the total load of your IT equipment (from UPS)? ____ kVA
3. Divide line 1 by line 2.  ____ Tons/kVA
4. If Line 3 equals 0.7 or more, you can use HotSpotr immediately to move your data center’s chilled air to where it will do the most good. Is Line 3 a lower number? Please call us.
