Like a Breath of Fresh Air - A CPI Passive Cooling Success Story

September 01, 2010

T-Series SteelFrame With VED

With each passing day, the list of satisfied customers using CPI’s Passive Cooling® Solutions grows. This time, DBG, a custom metal products and services company located in Canada, discovered how a planned relocation of their company’s IT department and equipment offered the perfect opportunity to “expand and upgrade” the existing data center.

While the company’s previous data center used open racks alongside a server room AC unit, Julian Wainewright, IT Manager at DBG, understood that AC alone did not offer the most dependable solution to cooling the data center.

“If our AC unit stopped running, we would have to shut down everything or else run the risk of frying equipment,” Julian pointed out.

After careful research and evaluation, DBG found a solution that exceeded even their initial expectations – CPI’s T-Series SteelFrame Cabinets with CPI Passive Cooling® Solutions.

“CPI’s ducted exhaust cabinets not only make this data center more reliable and less prone to outages, but also provides great energy savings that we weren’t even originally looking for.”

Because the T-Series SteelFrame Cabinets installed at DBG were equipped with CPI’s Vertical Exhaust Duct, complete airflow isolation was achieved and the mixture of hot and cold air was eliminated.

Of course, there’s even more to this story than meets the eye! To learn all the details about DBG’s increased efficiencies and savings thanks to these CPI products, click here for the full scoop.
