Server Lift Aids the Scaling of Data Centers
One of the most difficult tasks a growing company will encounter is the scaling of their data center, which is difficult due to all of the hardware and software they’ll have to upgrade to. However, scalability is an indication that the company is succeeding and its business is increasing. While a developing company is always a good thing, employing such growith strategies is without a doubt a challenging task.
Scaling your data center will be needing loads of planning and organizing, especially if the data center already contains rows of shelves that are fully loaded with servers and other rack mountable equipment. The deployment process of this equipment can overeat of resources, including money, time, and can even result in an accident. Fortunately, a new device is now available that addresses these challenges. The SL-500X server lift directly addresses problems linked to data center scalability by executing the complicated tasks that are typically completed by one or two people, for it does most of the work for them.
Quite often, data center technicians manually lift servers and other heavy equipment inside the data center. When doing so, considerable time and energy is wasted, and the entire process of scalability is slowed down. The heavy servers sometimes weigh too much to be lifted by only one individual. During the deployment process, these heavy servers and equipment will be need to be moved to different areas of the data center and may even need to be moved to a different floor.
The manual lifting of the equipment is not only resource consuming but tend to actually result in a dangerous incident at the same time. We have seen many incidents where workers hurt their backs lifting heavy objects and there have been other instances where staff fall while attempting to mount the equipment onto high shelves. Additionally, these indicents can even lead to the gear getting damaged, for they could be dropped or can also fall to the ground while they’re being installed.
These risks are significantly lessened with an SL-500X server lift, as it has the ability to lift the heavy servers and the accuracy to correctly align the equipment with the high shelves. First, the SL-500X has the power to lift 500 lbs to a height of eight feet. A serverlift must have these important qualities, for most data centers really don’t go any higher than eight feet and most servers in the market are exceedingly heavy. With such capabilities, the server lift is going to do most of the heavy work, and only one worker is required to operate this device. Yet another excellent feature that the SL-500X possesses is a small footprint of 24 inches in width, meaning the this device has the ability to comfortably move through the tight aisles between the server racks.
The SL-500X is a vital investment for a data center, for it will provide a safer environment for the workers and it will also help protect the expensive equipment from damage during installation. While expansion of a company is definitely welcome, scaling your data center can always be a difficult job. Fortunately, investing in a server lift that was designed especially for the data center will help ease a lot of the stress and make the task even more efficient.
