Cooling optimization
in the data center

Data centers are the backbone of the digital world and their energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important due to the growth of AI applications. guardstack, in combination with specialized sensors, enables a precise “temperature view” of your data center. This allows cooling processes to be optimized and energy efficiency and performance to be increased.

Share of cooling of
electricity consumption

According to a study by the Borderstep Institute, German data centers consumed a whopping 17,900 GWh of electricity in 2022. This corresponds to 3.65% of the country’s total electricity consumption. The estimated share of electricity consumption for cooling was therefore over 5,000,000,000 KWh. Cooling can account for up to 30% of consumption.

Cooling optimization
with guardstack

guardstack records temperature data in real time and creates a “thermal map” of your data center. The granular recording enables optimized control of the installed cooling units – precisely where the cooling is needed. Thanks to the precise thermal view of the “hot spots” and their targeted cooling, the overall target temperature of the room can be increased even in environments with a high computer density, which ultimately reduces the cooling costs for the entire data center.

Sensors for monitoring the environment

The complete solution offered in cooperation with sensor manufacturer ESERA enables precise monitoring of environmental conditions. With up to 30 sensors per gateway and up to five control cabinets with four sensors each, the system offers comprehensive sensor equipment that monitors temperature, humidity, air quality, air pressure and, optionally, door contacts.

Optimization of cooling strategies

guardstack records temperature data in real time and creates a “thermal map” of your data center. The granular recording enables optimized control of the installed cooling units – precisely where the cooling is needed. Thanks to the precise thermal view of the “hot spots” and their targeted cooling, the overall target temperature of the room can be increased even in environments with a high computer density, which ultimately reduces the cooling costs for the entire data center.

“Given that cooling can account for up to 30% of total power consumption in data centers, guardstack offers a smart solution to reduce these costs while minimizing environmental impact.”

Automatic detection of all devices

guardstack revolutionizes data center monitoring by providing an advanced solution automatically detecting all industry-standard components in existing data centers. This means the basic setup can be realized within a few hours and the monitoring solution is ready for use.

Quick and easy
installation

The plug-and-play system is designed for simple and efficient installation, with cabling tailored to the customer’s individual control cabinets. This enables quick installation without special electrical training or special tools. In addition, the system is compliant with EN 50600-2-3, a standard for regulating environmental conditions in data centers.
