When It’s Hot Outside, Make Sure Your Data Center Isn’t
Jul 25th 2025
It’s Hot Outside – Words that data center operators hate to hear.
Nature has not been playing nice this summer, and data centers are feeling it. Relentless heat waves - with no relief in sight - are putting cooling systems to the test, making thermal management more critical than ever.
GAW Technology provides a variety of hardware solutions that are designed to improve airflow and manage heat — even in the most challenging conditions.
Here are a few solutions and tools we provide to our clients to help data centers stay cool:
- PolarPlex Rigid Panels: These durable, modular containment walls provide hot and cold aisle separation, creating physical barriers for optimal airflow management.
- Vinyl Curtains: Cost-effective solution to isolate hot exhaust air from cold air supply, improving overall cooling efficiency. Safe and flexible, these curtains are easy to install and remove for quick layout reconfigurations.
- Direct the Flow: Air baffle and air plenum systems are engineered for side intake servers to redirect airflow front to rear for improved cooling efficiency.
- Snap-In Filler Panels: These panels fill unused rack spaces to prevent hot air recirculation. Because they snap into place, they’re easy to install and move.
- 550 CFM Fan: With mounting capabilities for inside the server rack or cabinet, this fan can help keep your system running cool and efficiently. Easy, quick installation.
If you are looking for innovative ways to help beat the heat during these sweltering months, while optimizing your energy usage, contact GAW Technology today for a consultation.
Mother Nature might not be helping this summer, but we can.
