42U Becomes GSA Schedule Provider of Upsite Technologies' KoldLok Grommets and HotLok Blanking Panels
Broomfield, CO - April 18, 2008 --
42U, the nation's largest,
vendor-independent valued-added reseller of data
center infrastructure solutions, today announced
it is a provider of Upsite Technologies'
products on their GSA Schedule.
Alan Mamane, Founder and President of 42U
commented: "We are very pleased to provide
Upsite Technologies'
KoldLok
and
HotLok solutions on our GSA schedule. These
products are a perfect fit for the government
market and provide the solutions necessary for
handling the above- and below-the-floor air
recirculation challenges of today's data
center."
The comprehensive features of Upsite's products
are designed to optimize cooling capacity, lower
energy bills, and enhance equipment reliability.
Upsite's KoldLok raised floor grommets are
specifically designed to address bypass airflow
by sealing cable opening. Using the KoldLok
grommets, data center managers can achieve
several benefits including:
- Increased cooling unit capacity of
existing equipment
- Reduced needs to purchase additional
cooling units
- Improved equipment reliability and
extended equipment life
- Increased static pressure under the
raised floor and improved cool air delivery
through perforated tiles or floor grates
"When you consider that 50 - 80% of valuable
conditioned air is not reaching the air intake
of IT equipment, it's clear that there is a
significant opportunity for data centers to
optimize the cooling capacity of their existing
customer room," notes Patrick Cameron.
"Providing these products on schedule is a great
way to help government agencies meet the goals
of their greening initiative."
Upsite's HotLok blanking panels are
patent-pending, snap-in/pull-out, stackable
blanking plates for IT equipment cabinets. Using
the HotLok panels, data center manages can
achieve several benefits including:
- Elimination of exhaust air recirculation
within the cabinet, allowing for the
optimization of cooling, the lowering of
energy consumption, and reduction of
operating expenses
- Reduction and stabilization of equipment
air intake temperatures
- Reduction of the number and severity of
hotspots within equipment cabinets
- Increased availability, performance, and
reliability of IT equipment within the
cabinets
- The possibility of deferring capital
expenses used to add cooling capacity
