Recently, Telect (News - Alert) unveiled universal CFlow energy management strip. For managing data center energy usage and optimizing HVAC efficiency and ultimately lowering data center energy costs, the CFlow strip is an intuitive, money-saving solution.

As bandwidth demand increases, data center energy consumption continues to rise. This is mainly driven by the sophisticated HVAC systems required to keep the equipment cool.

A robust thermal monitoring system is required in order to optimize energy efficiency and lower HVAC costs. By creating intuitive color-coded temperature maps, without the requirement of expensive electronics and infrared sensors, Telect's innovative CFlow strip solves this problem.

Dependable robust thermal monitoring systems are essential to saving money, as cooling systems constitute roughly 30 percent of a network facility's energy bill. Studies show that facilities can reduce overall power consumption by several percentages with proper air flow management and hot/cold aisle optimization.

The problem is where and how to implement common ways to enhance efficiencies, such as floor tile changes and blanking plates. These chances become clear with CFlow now.

“The CFlow strip is a simple solution for enabling people to visualize data center airflows and temperatures – and most importantly, empowering them to increase energy efficiencies," said Paul Knight, vice president of Product Development at Telect. “It's like having your own personal expert in computation fluid dynamics—that never sleeps and can ship in a box.”

The company also recently released a new energy management strip, the C-Degree Flow, which will go a long way toward ensuring that the important computers run at their best. Allowing both those who are responsible for environmental monitoring and those IT watchdogs out there to get a better handle on just what temperature is showing around the hardware, the C-Degree Flow strip is a simple strip of plastic that changes color based on the surrounding temperatures.
