Data center migration is one of the most complex and high-risk IT projects. The challenge lies not only in physically moving hardware but, more importantly, in ensuring business continuity, preventing downtime, and complying with stringent regulations. Often, the primary focus is solely on IT assets like servers and storage, while critical support elements, such as cooling systems, become dangerous blind spots that can derail the entire migration process.
The RiT Tech white paper, titled “Eliminating the blind spots that will undermine your data center migration,” highlights five major blind spots that threaten migrations. One of the most perilous, yet frequently overlooked, blind spots is the unpreparedness of the supporting infrastructure, including the cooling system at the target facility. In a tropical climate like Indonesia’s, where high temperatures and humidity are constant challenges, the role of a reliable cooling system becomes even more critical. An inadequate cooling system can quickly lead to overheating, damage sensitive IT equipment, and cause costly downtime and data loss—precisely when you can afford it least.
This is why choosing a trusted Data Center Cooling Distributor like Climanusa is no longer just about infrastructure preparation; it is an intelligent risk mitigation strategy. Climanusa, with its portfolio of state-of-the-art cooling solutions, understands that the cooling system is the backbone of data center availability. Climanusa’s approach aligns with the Universal Intelligent Infrastructure Management (UIIM) principles outlined in the document, which emphasize integration and comprehensive visibility across all infrastructure layers.
Let’s explore how cooling-related blind spots can emerge during migration and how Climanusa’s solutions can eliminate them:
- Inaccurate Asset and Capacity Mapping: Before migration, teams must ensure the new data center has sufficient cooling capacity to handle all the workloads being moved. Legacy cooling systems may not have adequate headroom for higher rack densities or High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) equipment. Climanusa provides scalable cooling solutions, enabling accurate capacity planning and ensuring the new facility is ready for future challenges.
- Unmapped Dependencies on Support Systems: IT systems do not operate in a vacuum. They depend on a precisely conditioned environment. If dependency mapping only focuses on network and power connectivity but ignores the critical reliance on stable temperature and humidity, then shutting down the cooling system during a migration-related power cut can trigger a cascade of failures. Climanusa’s cooling solutions are designed for seamless integration, providing real-time visibility into environmental conditions, a key component of the UIIM dependency map.
- Gaps in Compliance and Energy Efficiency: Many compliance standards, such as ISO 30134 governing Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), demand strict energy efficiency. An inefficient cooling system can cause a data center to breach PUE targets, resulting in fines and a damaged reputation. Climanusa offers high-technology cooling systems designed to maximize energy efficiency, helping Indonesian data centers not only comply with regulations but also significantly reduce operational costs.
- Communication and Process Breakdowns: Migrations often involve multiple teams—IT, facilities, and external vendors. If the facilities team lacks full visibility into the server rack move plan and its impact on airflow, sequencing errors can create hot spots. Climanusa’s solutions, which can be part of an integrated infrastructure management ecosystem, help align all teams with reliable, centralized data.
Climanusa comes with comprehensive solutions to address all these challenges. As a leading Data Center Cooling Distributor, they not only provide hardware like precision air conditioning (PAC) and modular chillers but also offer expertise in planning and integration. Their solutions enable the creation of a digital twin for the cooling system, allowing for migration condition simulations and risk identification before they occur in the real world. This capability is invaluable during the Simulate phase of the six-phase migration blueprint proposed by RiT Tech.
By partnering with Climanusa, organizations in Indonesia can transform their cooling blind spots into areas of full visibility and control. This ensures that the data center migration not only proceeds smoothly but also builds a foundation for more resilient, efficient, and compliant operations in the future. In Indonesia’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, investing in an intelligent and reliable cooling system is an investment in business continuity itself.
