Thermal Scanning Data Centers in North Carolina

Charlotte, North Carolina is known as one of the largest banking centers of the United States, which means it is also home to lots and lots of data centers. As a matter of fact - Apple's new data center in North Carolina is now visible on Google Earth! (http://www.tuaw.com/2011/04/24/local-tv-station-visits-apples-data-center/) Why am I mentioning this in a blog about infrared scanning? Because thermal imaging of a data center infrastructure can provide critical information about your center's health and functioning.

What exactly IS a data center? Simply put, it is a facility that houses crucial computer systems and their related components. For example, every bank has multiple data centers. These data centers house the mainframe computers that contain all the bits and bytes that represent YOUR money (and a whole lot more data). Although data centers are set up to be redundant (if one fails, the redundant data center should immediately and safely resume operations), a good predictive mainentance program helps to ensure failure through preventable incursions doesn't happen.

Thermography in the data center allows you to check for hidden problems before they occur. Next week, we'll take a look at what some of them might be.

Infrared Scanning - it's not just for commercial buildings anymore!
