Electrorack Releases Newest Article on its ePulse Blog: Protecting Equipment
in Harsh Environments

Anaheim, CA – July 3rd, 2012 – Electrorack recently posted its article, Protecting Equipment in Harsh Environments, on its ePulse Info Center at www.electrorack.com.

“Operating servers in harsh environments presents a variety of challenges, including the need to protect against water and moisture, dust and other airborne particulates, heat, and corrosion,” said Todd Schneider, Electrorack’s Director of Marketing.  “Choosing specialized racks and creating a controlled internal environment are two fundamental ways of protecting against these elements.”

Excerpt from Protecting Equipment in Harsh Environments:

Operating servers in harsh environments is challenging, but various types of equipment including specialized racks can help in tackling this problem.

Military forces, in particular, need rack options that allow them to run servers in the toughest outdoor environments. Military data operations not only present climate-related challenges, but also threats from a hostile combat and electronic warfare environment. For this reason, military organizations around the world typically have standards for racks and other equipment.

In addition to military applications, servers used at particular types of manufacturing plants, mining sites, refineries and other locations where equipment is subject to adverse conditions require protection similar to military servers.

“Rack selection is critical,” added Todd.  “It has to be based on a clear understanding of all factors, including the environment, power, and cooling requirements.”
