Maintaining Ideal Conditions in Critical Environments
The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) performs data center environmental testing services to verify data facilities operate efficiently under various environmental stressors.
Environmental factors such as high humidity, poor airflow, and overheating can cause unexpected failures in critical data center systems and their components. Data center environmental testing can catch these issues early to extend operational uptime and save organizations time, money, and resources.
What Conditions Does Environmental Testing Evaluate in Data Centers?
Data center environmental testing can serve as a diagnostic tool to detect out-of-range conditions and help data centers remain stable as they evolve. At ATS, our team of trained experts identify deviations from ideal environmental conditions and offer detailed insights into their causes. We also offer data center condition monitoring as a form of predictive maintenance.
We evaluate various data center environmental conditions such as:
- Uneven Airflow Distribution
- Excess Moisture and Humidity
- Temperature Fluctuations (hot spots and uneven cooling)
- Dust and Particles
- Corrosion
- Undetected Water Leaks
- Fire Hazards
- Internal Degradation
- Unbalanced Power Systems
- Vibration/Shocks
