SANTA FE, NM, November 17, 2009—UpsiteTechnologies, Inc., leading developer of highly engineered airflow solutions designed to optimize existing data center infrastructure is pleased to announce a partnership with Sensatronics, a leading source for temperature and environmental monitoring products for the IT industry.

For a limited time, Sensatronics will package Upsite’s award-winning HotLok Blanking Panels with its leading product, the Senturion. The HotLok Blanking Panel is engineered to seal openings in the front of the IT equipment racks to prevent hot air from circulating and the Senturion monitors temperature, environmental, and security conditions in the data center.

Both the HotLok product and the Senturion have been studied extensively and permit raising computer room temperature setpoints, which can save data centers thousands of dollars a year in operating costs (cooling energy reduction) and capital costs (deferred additional cooling infrastructure costs).

Increasing the temperature of the data center can reduce the energy costs substantially one of the CIOs I was speaking about was considering it and asking his colleagues how he could go about it, he gave me the example that raising it could save hundreds of thousands of pounds a year in energy cost, but only marginally increase his hardware support contract costs, either way it was still cheaper than running at the industry standard temperature. I’m off to check out more.
