Blanking Panels

Blanking Panels

Blanking Panels play a vital role in improving the airflow management within Data Centre and IT Environments. Cooling is an area where operators can make energy efficiency gains by optimising cooling systems. Installing blanking panels is one way in which to improve airflow management to enable cooling optimisation.

Blanking panels prevent hot equipment exhaust air from circulating back to the front of the rack where it can mix with cold air and affect inlet temperatures causing potential hot spots. EDP Distribution provides leading solutions including EziBlank 6U blanking panels that are tool-less and can be easily resized to fit the required space.
Floor Grommets

Floor Grommets

Floor Grommets are an important step in improving airflow management in raised floor environments within Data Centres and IT environments. Within Data Centres cold air to cool IT equipment should only be supplied via floor grilles in the cold aisle. All other openings in the raised floor should be sealed to prevent air leakage.

EDP Distribution supply the leading solution to resolve this issue − KoldLok Raised Floor Grommets. KoldLok is a range of floor grommets that has been designed to specifically seal cable openings in Data Centre raised floors, featuring either double-layer brushes or brush and membrane they provide an effective seal whilst still allowing easy access for cabling. Sealing openings with KoldLok helps reduce bypass airflow, enables cooling optimisation of cooling units which leads to energy efficiency gains.

Airflow Floor Grilles

Airflow Floor Grilles

Providing cold air to cool IT equipment within Data Centres with raised access floors is achieved through the floor grilles within the cold aisle. Not all floor grilles are effective, some result in short cycling or even negative airflow.

EDP Distribution offers the advanced Triad Floor Grille that has a unique design which features Hi-Plume stratification fins that disrupt the underfloor airflow allowing it to flow through a special hole pattern. The result is a positive airflow that “bends” the air outwards enabling to flow into the IT equipment and reach servers at the top of racks.
Rack Security

Rack Security

EDP provides solutions to improve the security of racks housing IT equipment. Whilst security of data from cyberattacks is vital an area of security that often gets overlooked is the physical security of the equipment itself. Data Centres themselves are secure facilities, but once in the data hall how secure are the racks themselves? Rack manufacturers tend to use standard locks which are usually keyed the same from that manufacturer, meaning a key for one of their racks will unlock any of their racks.

Where there is a requirement to protect high-value asset EDP Distribution offers several options to provide Rack Access Control, allowing controlled access to the server racks. Know when your racks were accessed and who by. Receive alerts when access attempts are made, whether authorised or unauthorised, manage the security of rack proactively.

Server Lifters

Server Lifters

Installing IT equipment into server racks can be difficult. First the equipment needs to be brought to the rack, then due to the size and weight of the equipment it can often require two or more people to install the equipment. There are also the Health & Safety manual handling concerns to consider.

To aid this process EDP Distribution supplies a range of manual and battery-operated server lifters that provide easier manoeuvrability of IT equipment. Once at the rack the server lifter can position the equipment to the required height make the process of installing equipment safer and easier.

Raised Access Floors

Raised Access Floors

EDP Data Centre Solutions supplies and installs the dynamic raised access floor system from Bergvik − Iso Floor.

Unlike traditional pedestal raised floors, Bergvik Iso Floor uses a steel sub-structure that is self-supporting and totally independent from the floor panels. As the floor panels are not required to provide the lateral stability Iso Floor uses up to 70% fewer pedestals which provides greater access to plenum infrastructure as there is less obstruction, this allows space for cable management and improve airflow.

The design of Iso Floor also allows the use of different sized floor tiles from the standard 600x600 tiles. This enables the space to be optimised, by doing so it is possible to achieve up to 25% more equipment within the same space when compared to a traditional floor.

The steel sub-structure also removes the need for expensive equipment stands and heavy equipment can be placed on the frame simply by adding additional beams and pedestals to match the weight load. The entire floor can also be grounded via just two grounding points.
Structural Ceilings

Structural Ceilings

EDP Data Centre Solutions supplies and installs the structural ceiling from Bergvik − Iso Flex-Grid.

Bergvik Iso Flex-Grid is an engineered, dual purpose structural ceiling system that combines a dropped air ceiling plenum, with a structural support grid. Once installed, a continuous M10 threaded interface along the entire ceiling enables infrastructure to attach directly to the ceiling. This provides greater flexibility allowing countless overhead suspension points in all directions. It provides a cost-effective solution as due to the system’s high load-bearing capacity, there is no need to add additional suspension points.

As standard Iso Flex-Grid is designed for point loads up to 300Kg.
Thermal Audit

Thermal Audit

An effectively cooled Data Centre with good airflow management can have a huge impact on energy efficiency. To achieve this, airflow needs to be managed at raised floor, rack and row levels. Identifying areas that need improvement can be an issue, so EDP can perform a Thermal Audit on your Data Centre that can provide insights and baseline data to help identify areas requiring attention and the steps that would need to be taken to achieve improved Data Centre cooling optimisation.
Data Centre Cleaning

Data Centre Cleaning

Data Centre Cleaning plays a vital role in the health of your facility. Various contaminants can affect the performance of your Data Centre, which can lead to data loss, hardware failure and costly downtime. To protect this mission-critical IT equipment it is important to keep the facility as contamination-free as possible. Airborne contamination goes often unnoticed but is avoidable. Contaminant particles can be drawn into equipment and settle on vital components leading to thermal clogging, data loss and performance bottlenecks as a result of thermal throttling.

EDP Data Centre Solutions provides a full range of critical cleaning services, conducted by Critical Facilities, part of the EDP Group, including: post construction cleaning, deep technical cleans, clinical cleans to ISO14644-1:2015, cleaning of ceiling voids and sub-floor plenums, high level cleaning of trunking, ducting, tray works and lighting, air particle testing and reporting and zinc whisker identification and remediation.
Fire Stopping

Fire Stopping

Fire stopping is an important part of providing structural fire protection and fire safety within a facility. Fire stopping is vital to contain or slow the spread of fires by utilising fire-resistant walls, floor and doors, all of which need to comply with the associated regulations.

Due to the need in Data Centres and Enterprise IT environments to penetrate fire-rated walls and floors to distribute services and connectivity, it is vital that these openings are sealed to reduce the risk of fires or smoke from spreading.

EDP Data Centre Solutions provides a range of fire stopping services that are conducted by Critical Facilities Solutions, part of the EDP Group. These services include: inspecting, reporting and signing off fire stopping, installation of fire-retardant cable transits, linear gap seals, fire batts and collars and pipe wraps.
