Future Data Centers will stress the capabilities of power, cooling, and energy efficiency.
It is said that cloud computing will drive an increase in data center capacity four-fold by 2016, but that the overall data center square footage will not increase exponentially. The future Data Centers will stress the capabilities of power, cooling, and energy efficiency.
AirTight is right in the middle of it. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina for the last thirteen years, AirTight has been supporting the cloud through the data centers it’s made of. AirTight was founded to provide quality service and leadership to the facilities being used to meet the growing needs of technology.
AirTight is a full service HVAC and mechanical contracting company that focuses on Computer Room Environmental system designs, installation, service and maintenance. We serve the Mission Critical world and the infrastructure supporting them.
With thought-leadership partners such as Honeywell and Tridium we have direct access to the world’s top technological providers of controls equipment and software. Our in-house Data Center and Customer Experience Center hosts a cloud based solution to integrate and manage your data safely and securely, as well as allowing us to carry out reliability testing on equipment and software.
Partnered with with world-class brands in cooling (CRAC , CRAH and InRow) and standby power (UPS) equipment, such as APC, Liebert, Stulz and Schneider Electric, AirTight is able to bring reliable, highly efficienct, intelligent delivery systems to the data center.
Years of experience in the Mission Critical HVAC world have sparked innovative ideas and cooling architectures. With close-coupled cooling and a host of containment options, we are able to provide a more robust cooling solution to ensure the IT equipment maintains a safe operating temperature and help reduce overall operating expenses for the data center.
Since 1999 AirTight has deployed many high density in-row cooling solutions. We recently completed an enterprise deployment of 8 regional high-density data centers across the United States.
The ever increasing KW load per rack offers challenges to many existing legacy data centers. AirTight has the expertise and experience to recognize these challenges and design solutions to address these issues within the existing data center environment, as well as any Greenfield application.
By bringing in Software as a Service, our team of Infrastructure Management and Controls Specialists are able to use software to monitor and increase reliability. This monitoring of the critical space not only controls it, but provides the highest level of energy efficiency and savings. DCiM software solutions provide real time analysis of the infrastructure equipment and handles the optimization of the IT equipment and the virtualized environment, which is rapidly growing and changing as well.
Quality Service means Quality People
One constant benefit that AirTight provides is a deep knowledge. We feel education is key, not just for our technicians but for our customers and the industry in general. AirTight University provides a wide variety of courses ranging from Mechanical Cooling applications to Building Automation and Controls.
