TOP THREATS TO YOUR SERVER ROOM

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation="left-to-right"]

1. HEAT

If the temperature of your server room gets too high, your gear will likely shut down due to overheating, bringing your entire network DOWN.

2. SECURITY

Whether through accident or malicious intent, damage can just as easily be caused by employees and visitors wandering into your server room.

3. WATER

A slow water leak in the wrong place could short circuit several pieces of mission-critical gear, leading to network downtime and lost revenue.

4. POWER INTERRUPTIONS

Black outs can be devastating to your servers and your network performance. If you’re lucky, you’ll lose only time as you work to get your systems up and running again. If you’re not, you’ll have to replace equipment and deal with a possible loss of data.

5.  HUMIDITY

Persistently high humidity levels cause condensation inside hardware, leading to rust and short circuits. They can also cause build ups of minerals, dirt, and even fungus that corrode equipment and trap heat. Too-low humidity leaves your gear vulnerable to static electricity, which can cause performance glitches or permanent damage.

6. AIR FLOW DISRUPTIONS /TEMPERATURE

The ideal temperature for a server room environment is between 68 and 72 degrees. By properly managing air circulation in your server room, you can regulate the temperature and ensure there isn't a disruption to this flow. If one of your cooling units goes down, it won't be long before your servers execute thermal shutdowns.
