Upsite Technologies, Inc., developer of solutions specifically designed to optimize a datacenter's critical infrastructure, has announced the release of the KoldLok® Mini Raised Floor Grommet, its latest patent-pending thermal airflow management solution in the expanding KoldLok family of solutions engineered to improve energy efficiency in the datacenter.
Designed with virtually all of the original KoldLok product family features, the KoldLok Mini Grommet effectively seals small 4 x 6 inch (100 x 150 mm) cable openings that, if left untreated, contribute to equipment hotspots, cooling unit inefficiencies, and increasing infrastructure costs. New features and benefits include a UL94 V0-standards fire-rating and KoldLok engineering at a competitive price. Like the original KoldLok products, the KoldLok Mini optimizes the effectiveness of existing cooling equipment and manages heat loads to ensure site uptime and reliability. The KoldLok Mini Grommet is offered with static-dissipation or without.
"The KoldLok Mini Grommet is designed to meet smaller cable opening standards specified in new builds, and works well in retrofits. What conscientious data center managers realize is that sealing even a small opening can have a positive effect on existing cooling unit capacity," says Michele Galleazzi, KoldLok product manager at Upsite Technologies. "The KoldLok Mini provides a cost-effective, efficient way to optimize airflow immediately and save money in the long-term."
"After extensive research in the field, we discovered that our datacenter customers require more varied and flexible solutions to treat multiple cable opening sizes," says Peter Crook, president of Upsite Technologies. "We're excited to help datacenters lower datacenter energy costs and execute their green and energy efficiency initiatives with the KoldLok Mini."
