Your Server Room Doesn’t Get a Summer Break
Alan Baggett gets more emergency calls in peak summer than any other season — aging cooling systems in server rooms that were never built for extended heat waves.
Q1: What’s the ideal temperature range for a server room?
Generally 64-75°F — equipment running consistently above that range degrades faster and fails more often.
Q2: What are early signs of a cooling problem?
Unusually warm equipment to the touch, fans running constantly at high speed, or unexplained random reboots — all worth checking before a full failure.
Q3: Is temperature monitoring worth setting up?
Yes — a simple sensor alerting you to rising temperature gives time to act before equipment actually fails, rather than finding out during an outage.
Q4: How does DirecTech help Oregon businesses with this?
We assess existing cooling capacity, install temperature monitoring with alerts, and recommend upgrades before a heat wave causes an actual failure.
Final Word
A little monitoring and airflow planning now is far cheaper than replacing equipment that overheated during a summer heat wave.
