Raised Access Floors
EDP Data Centre Solutions supplies and installs the dynamic raised access floor system from Bergvik − Iso Floor.
Unlike traditional pedestal raised floors, Bergvik Iso Floor uses a steel sub-structure that is self-supporting and totally independent from the floor panels. As the floor panels are not required to provide the lateral stability Iso Floor uses up to 70% fewer pedestals which provides greater access to plenum infrastructure as there is less obstruction, this allows space for cable management and improve airflow.
The design of Iso Floor also allows the use of different sized floor tiles from the standard 600x600 tiles. This enables the space to be optimised, by doing so it is possible to achieve up to 25% more equipment within the same space when compared to a traditional floor.
The steel sub-structure also removes the need for expensive equipment stands and heavy equipment can be placed on the frame simply by adding additional beams and pedestals to match the weight load. The entire floor can also be grounded via just two grounding points.

Thermal Audit
An effectively cooled Data Centre with good airflow management can have a huge impact on energy efficiency. To achieve this, airflow needs to be managed at raised floor, rack and row levels. Identifying areas that need improvement can be an issue, so EDP can perform a Thermal Audit on your Data Centre that can provide insights and baseline data to help identify areas requiring attention and the steps that would need to be taken to achieve improved Data Centre cooling optimisation.
Floor Grommets
Floor Grommets are an important step in improving airflow management in raised floor environments within Data Centres and IT environments. Within Data Centres cold air to cool IT equipment should only be supplied via floor grilles in the cold aisle. All other openings in the raised floor should be sealed to prevent air leakage.
EDP Distribution supply the leading solution to resolve this issue − KoldLok Raised Floor Grommets. KoldLok is a range of floor grommets that has been designed to specifically seal cable openings in Data Centre raised floors, featuring either double-layer brushes or brush and membrane they provide an effective seal whilst still allowing easy access for cabling. Sealing openings with KoldLok helps reduce bypass airflow, enables cooling optimisation of cooling units which leads to energy efficiency gains.

Server Lifters
Installing IT equipment into server racks can be difficult. First the equipment needs to be brought to the rack, then due to the size and weight of the equipment it can often require two or more people to install the equipment. There are also the Health & Safety manual handling concerns to consider.
To aid this process EDP Distribution supplies a range of manual and battery-operated server lifters that provide easier manoeuvrability of IT equipment. Once at the rack the server lifter can position the equipment to the required height make the process of installing equipment safer and easier.
