An Industry Leader in Green Data Center Resources

Instor advocates environmentally responsible practices and offers unique green solutions to help our customers make the best use of their resources by reducing waste, increasing efficiency, and decreasing energy bills. Our green audit takes a holistic view of your data center and identifies areas for improved energy efficiency and cost savings. We provide effective solutions to implement Green IT best practices- addressing power, cooling, thermal containment and overall environmental conditions within your data center.

• Cooling: cabinet temperatures, room temperature and humidification patterns, analysis of air recirculation patterns, and benchmarking of cooling unit performance against manufacturer specifications.
• Airflow: current airflow conditions, including perforated tile layout, underflow airflow, perimeter breaches, and raised floor bypass area and bypass airflow volume.
• Critical power: comparison of power consumption against system capacity, power distribution limits, and cabinet utilization. We determine redundant capacity for each sub-system.
• Room conditions: overall assessment of your air system, equipment layout, cable management, and room contaminants. Includes infrared thermal imaging of IT and cooling equipment

Green Practices

Instor advocates environmentally responsible practices both internally and externally. We've made a tangible commitment to saving energy in our own offices and warehouse—by installing solar panels, high-efficiency plumbing fixtures, T8 fluorescent lamps, and reflective electric ballasts—and we enjoy helping customers learn more about how they can reduce consumption, too.
