Take advantage of the portfolio of unique locks from the B01 series for data centers. Combining electronics and mechanics in a
single locking system reduces costs and enables inductive management via a webCloud interface.
A state-of-the-art data center is equipped with two rooms: a secure room for “sensitive equipment” (IT systems) and a room for “utility equipment”
(air conditioning, power supply, fire suppression systems, etc.). A data center may be equipped with a spacious raised floor through which not only
the cabling but also cool air from the air conditioning system is routed to the equipment. Network cabinets are arranged in closed rows with their
front or rear sides facing each other. Because the equipment draws in air from the front and expels it from the rear, this creates so-called cold
aisles and hot aisles. In front of the cabinets, cool air is blown out from the floor, and behind the cabinets, warm air is extracted from the ceiling.
One measure to increase the efficiency of cooling in the data center—thereby reducing costs—is the enclosure of cold aisles (also known as cold aisle
containment), into which the cool air flows from the raised floor.
Server racks with high heat dissipation rates (> 10 kW per rack) can no longer be adequately cooled using a pressurized raised floor.
Instead, special rack cooling systems using water or refrigerant circuits are available, which dissipate the heat directly at the rack.
The high power density and the resulting heat generation not only require complex cooling measures but also mean that, due to the noise
from the fans inside the equipment, hearing protection may be necessary when in the data center. Direct rack cooling is more energy-efficient
and quieter than indirect air cooling. The requirements for data center availability are high. They are therefore equipped with redundant
air conditioning systems, uninterruptible power supplies, fire alarm systems, and a fire suppression system.
