Environmental Issues for a Datacenter

 Environmental Issues


Temperature: High temperature makes it difficult for the cooling systems to operate efficiently. This can lead to system crashes or failures.

Humidity: High humidity leads to condensation which can cause corrosion and short circuits. Low humidity can lead to static charges which can damage electrical components.

Electrical: Systems need to have clean and stable power. Things that need to be protected against are blackouts, brownouts, surges, and spikes, all of which can damage a system. Battery backups, UPSs, and power distribution units will assist with clean consistent power.

Flooding: Floods can be caused by natural events such as storms, leaky plumbing, or even fire suppression systems.
