Consider hot aisle containment. But what is hot aisle containment? Hot Aisle Containment is a method of data center cooling that directs hot air to specific aisles in the data center to prevent it from mixing with cool air.

2020-06-22T14:13:28-05:00

  Location, location, location. At 1623 Farnam we think and talk about location a lot. We’re all about it. The reason has a lot to do with our position in the middle of the country. 1623 Farnam Vice President of Sales, Linn Gowen, sat down with JSA TV to discuss why our facility’s central location is such a big deal. “When the fiber networks were first being built across the country years ago, they passed right through Omaha east-west, as well as north-south,” says Gowen, “So we are right in the nexus, if you will, of the fiber backbone. And as more and more fiber facilities have been built they [...]

COVID-19 has turned many of our lives upside down, causing millions of Americans to begin working from home if they are fortunate enough to have jobs that allow them to do so.

This means that we must continue to carry out these job functions as if they were business as usual. Data centers have been deemed as an essential business, since they represent the core locations where so many organizations [...]
